Issue/Introduction

Upgrading Database Management for Db2 for z/OS tools from release r19 to r20. Post Install customization job ssid0550
failed to locate Xmanager. After starting the Xmanager started task the job ran successfully.
User claimed to have run this job in past release with Xmanager down.

 

Resolution

The Xmanager started task must be up to complete these Post Install steps.

Execution Manager (Xmanager) establishes and controls an execution environment that is required by all the Database Management Solutions for Db2 for z/OS
that run under the driver PTLDRIVM. Xmanager executes as a started task in its own address space. Xmanager is used by all the products on a single LPAR.
Installing a product on a different LPAR requires a separate Xmanager, and thus these customization steps must be processed again.


Xmanager customization consists of the following items, which are all required:

1. Prepare the Xmanager procedure
2. Authorize data sets for Xmanager use
3. Add the XMANID to your SETUPxx member
4. Start Xmanager
5. Verify Xmanager initialization INS Start XManager
