Designing the DB2 for z/OS database objects

You can organize the DB2 for z/OS objects that are required to support an instance of IBM BPM in various ways. Your decisions depend on the standards or conventions of your organization, and on practices that simplify the management of a DB2 subsystem.

Work with your DB2 subsystem administrator to design your approach for naming conventions and the use of databases, storage groups, buffer pools, and other DB2 resources. If you are not already familiar with DB2, you might choose to start with a stand-alone configuration. You can then create an ND configuration that uses a DB2 type database, which is a more complex procedure.
