Could you please provide me a suggestion or a hint to know the initial catalog name in DB2. Are there any Batch jobs are Clist execution where we can fetch this details.

perumj1, since you mentioned batch jobs and clists, I assume you are talking about DB2 z/OS (or possibly DB2i but I don't know much about that environment).

What do you mean by the initial catalog name? What are you trying to find?

Hi,

Apology for not being more precise. It is in Z/os system.

Initial catalog: ------- (The RDB name is on the DB2. Typically, it's the name of the server when it was originally built, but it could also be an alias .
This was the description given, but I am unable to find the Alias.

When DB2 is installed, it is given a SubSustemID (SSID) which could be any name (although I have only seen 4 character SSID names). The only 'catalog' I know about is the System Catalog tables (SYSIBM.* tables).

If something is defining an Alias name, it sounds like it is being cataloged on another computer client (or DB2 Connect) to allow access to the z/OS system. That Alias name could be anything the person who has (or will) set it up wants.

To me, 'Initial Catalog' still has no meaning.
