This panel is used to define a DB2 Subsystem to CICS PA. The definition includes:

Scroll Right (F11) to switch between Files and Groups. Files is the initial view. However, for each system, CICS PA remembers its last view and returns there next time.

The DB2 Subsystem details are:
DB2 SSID
The DB2 Subsystem ID. A DB2 SSID can be up to four alphanumeric (A-Z,0-9) or special (@,#,$) characters. You can also specify a pattern using the % or * masking characters.
MVS Image
The SMF identifier of the MVS system where the DB2 subsystem runs. An Image ID is up to eight alphanumeric (A-Z,0-9) or special (@,#,$) characters.
Description
Description is free-format text up to 36 characters to describe the system. This is for your reference only, although CICS PA will insert it as a comment in your Report Set JCL.

The primary commands are the same as on the CICS® System panel, see CICS System (APPLID) definition.

The lists of related Files and Groups work the same here as on the CICS System panel, see Files the System uses for the Files and Groups the System belongs to for the Groups.

Note: Usually, you only need to specify files for DB2 subsystems when the DB2 Accounting records reside in a different data set to the CICS CMF records.
