• Endevor Interface for Db2 for z/OS

Issue/Introduction

Getting the below alert in the prod environment when instead of typing ‘1’ for selecting option RC/Query ‘7’ is typed by mistake. 

CA LMP KEY MISSING
CAS9180E - CPU ###### Requires a LMP key to run Prod (EN) ENDEVOR-FOR-DB2

How can you disable option CA Endevor for  Db2 from main panel so when it is accidently selected an LMP key warning is issued?

 

Environment

z/os DB2

Cause

unlicensed product selected from the main menu 

Resolution

Currently there is no official way to remove CA Endevor for DB2 from the main menu.
So although the Broadcom product is not displayed in the Main Menu, if you type 7 the Main Menu will attempt to start the 'Endevor for Db2' product. The reason is that in an emergency customers have to be able to start any Broadcom product, even when they do not have a valid LMP Key installed. 
  
Going forward it is understood there are Plans to introduce something to help with the accidental Typo issues where a unlicensed product is selected by accident. This is just in the planning stage so no ETA on when it might happen.
