Overview

All Beta products use a BQL database. This is a relational database that can be used by one Beta product STC, or shared by a number of Beta product STCs.

BQL share option

The BQL share option enables you to set up master – slave systems where the slave systems have the same rights as the master. In this case the slave systems access the database directly. For more details on the BQL share option, see "Sharing databases with the BQL share option".

Other master – slave configurations

In addition to BQL share, there are other options for setting up master-slave configurations:

• Two or more STCs on the same LPAR can share the same database. The slave systems access the database via the master system.
• OCF or XCF.

Global LST parameters

Global LST parameters for BQL are coded in the BnnLSTxx member of the product. For a list of available parameters, see "Global LST parameters for BQL".
