This document covers the following topics:
Incorporation of DB2 objects is subject to DB2 security mechanisms. See the section DB2 and SQL/DS in the Predict and Other Systems documentation.
Note:
See Concepts of
Incorporation for basic information on how to use
incorporation functions.
The Incorporate DB2 Databases
screen is called with function code I and object code D2 in a Predict main menu
or with the command INCORPORATE DB2.

Common parameters which are not included in the table below are described under Common Parameters for All DB2 Types.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| DB2 database name | DB2 database name. Asterisk notation is allowed. |
| Creator name | Creator name. Asterisk notation is allowed. |
| Connect automatic | Y - The DB2 database and the Predict object will be connected by the Compare function (code T) if no differences were detected between the file lists of the two objects. |
| DB attributes | Y - Attributes of the Predict database object are to be updated. |
Databases which meet the selection criteria and are not already connected to a Predict database object are then listed as follows.

Valid functions:
Compares the database and the Predict database object and reports differences between attributes and file lists.
If no differences between the file lists are found and Connect automatic is set to Y, the dictionary object is connected to the database.
Connects the DB2 database to the corresponding Predict database object and
copies current information from the DB2 catalog into the dictionary object;
writes to the generation log of the Predict database object that a corresponding implemented database existed when the connection was established.
Creates a database object of type D with attributes documenting the database.
The new database object is linked to the Predict object documenting the current virtual machine via association "Contains DA".
Connects the database and the Predict database object.
Specify the following parameters in an additional input screen before executing the function. The parameter Database ID is mandatory, the other parameter is optional

|---|---|---|---|
| Database ID | ID of the new Predict database object. The creator and DB2 name of the database joined by a hyphen is displayed and can be accepted or overwritten. | ||

Command: INCORPORATE
DB2-DATABASE
Enter parameters on next line using positional or keyword form.
| Field | Keyword | Position |
|---|---|---|
| DB2 database name | DB2NAME | 1 |
| Creator name | CREATOR | 2 |
| Connect automatic | AUTO-CONNECT | 3 |
| Function | SUB-FUNCTION | 4 |
| Database ID | DATABASE-ID | 5 |
| List incorporated code | LIST | 6 |
| Update DB attributes | UPD-DB | 7 |
| SQL Server | SQL-SERVER | 8 |
If you explicitly set SQL-SERVER to blank in order to use the default server, another keyword must be specified after the SQL-SERVER keyword. If it is not possible to specify another keyword, the SQL-SERVER keyword must be followed by "D1=*" as shown below:
SQL-SERVER= ,D1=*
To incorporate the DB2 database "DSN8D13A" as database object in Predict with ID "TEST-DB" and display the database attributes, code the command:
INCORPORATE DB2 DB2NAME=DSN8D13A,SUB-FUNCTION=I,DATABASE-ID=TEST-DB,LIST=Y
or
INCORPORATE DB2 DSN8D13A,,,I,TEST-DB,Y
The example above uses the Natural parameters
ID=, and IA==.
