Db2 Database Backend for Z System Automation Dynamic Resources now available with SPE APAR OA63123

By Wiltrud Rebmann posted Mon March 06, 2023 10:47 AM

  

Z System Automation V4.2 introduced the concept of dynamic resources, which enables dynamic provisioning and de-provisioning of applications, such as CICS regions or IMS message processing regions. This concept gives you the possibility to apply enterprise policies to the content of a template via the existing change control mechanisms, while giving additional speed and flexibility to create resources at runtime based on template definition.
For the ’System Automation Data Store’, which is a prerequisite for dynamic resources, an internal Apache Derby database was initially used after validation with customers.


Based on a customer requirement a new option was implemented in Z System Automation in the last months. This means that there is now also the option of using a central IBM Db2® for z/OS® database to hold the dynamic resource instances and act as an alternative to the implementation where the ’System Automation Data Store’ uses an internal Derby database.


This is only a backend enhancement, without any changes to the INGDYN command.
