Task 2: Configure the Host Database
INITENV automatically runs STARTSCM and VERIFYI as its last step to verify the
DSM/SCM system environment configuration. DSM/SCM must be running for the
verification procedure.
Task 2: Configure the Host Database
The Planner Interface and ZPHIHMI are used to perform routine maintenance on the
host database. Only host systems contain a host database:

For a target system, proceed to Task 3: Configure the Target Database on
page 5-7.

For a host system, check the defaults for the host or target system information in
the host database. As needed, update the configuration for aspects of DSM/SCM
operations such as user security, file transfer, and scheduling options.
1. Set the DSM/SCM user ID. See
Setting the DSM/SCM User ID on page 5-8.
2. Add a planner ID or change the tasks a planner can perform on this system. See
Setting Security for Planners on page 5-8.
3. Use the ZPHIHMI to configure the system profile for this system. See
Updating the
System Profile Information (ZPHIHMI or ZPHITMI) on page 17-4.
___ What is the host system name for this target system?
This is displayed only if the system is a target system.
\host-name
___ DSM/SCM user ID. The default DSM/SCM user ID is the
super ID (2

dsmscm-user-id
___ Hometerm for use by DSM/SCM Pathway servers and
other processes. The default is $ZHOME, a virtual
te
rminal that always runs in the paused state. This
prevents DSM/SCM from stopping even if the system
console is not in the paused state. If you do not use
$ZHOME, you must use a terminal that can be paused
while DSM/SCM is running.
$ZHOME
___ The DSM/SCM servers can consume a lot of CPU time
to perform few tasks. Se
t the priority on which the
DSM/SCM Pathway servers and other processes must
run. The priority must be below the priority of your
production applications such that the DSM/SCM servers
do not slow down your production applications. The
default priority of DSM/SCM servers is 50.

Note.
DSM/SCM initialization activities like INITENV, STARTSCM, STOPSCM, and IPM6031
are more non super ID tolerable.
