DB2 graphic  QMF Version 8

Migrating QMF on the same DB2 UDB subsystem

Read this section to migrate when both releases of QMF are on the same DB2 UDB subsystem.

Note: Only a QMF Version 8.1 Compatibility mode installation can coexist in the same DB2 UDB subsystem with a previous release of QMF. This section refers only to QMF Version 8.l Compatibility mode migrations.

Providing a QMF profile on z/OS

At the start of a QMF session, a user's QMF profile comes from some row of the Q.PROFILES table. With both releases of QMF in the same DB2 subsystem, the two releases use the same Q.PROFILES table.

If a user has a primary authorization ID different from the TSO logon ID, the DSQSPRID parameter should have a value of TSO ID when you start QMF. Otherwise, insert a user row in Q.PROFILES with CREATOR set to the primary authorization ID.

For QMF Version 3.3, 6.1, 7.1, and 7.2 Users

There are no new columns in the Q.PROFILES table if you are migrating from Version 3.3 or higher.

Making objects from the earlier release available under DB2 QMF Version 8.1

If both releases of QMF are on the same DB2 subsystem, all the DB2 objects (tables and views, for example), are available under DB2 QMF Version 8.1 (both Compatibility mode and New Function mode) if they are available under the earlier release. All the queries, forms, and procedures are also available, but some might be unusable under QMF Version 8.1. This topic is discussed in Migrating QMF objects.
