Hi,
I was asked to test one Image copy job and the only modification i see between present job and existing job is the parameter passed to UID for DSNUPROD
| Code: |
//SURYA07 EXEC DSNUPROD,SYSTEM=DSN,UID='XXXXXXX',SORTPRI=0,TIME=90,
|
Can any one please explain the signiicance of this parameter, what is the possable impact by changing this parameter value. |

KariSurya,
UID is for 'Utility ID'. To uniquely identify an DB2 utility, when multiple utilities are running at the same time.
If UID is not specified, it will be your userid.jobname.

| Consider it as "identifier", as Sushanth said, this specifies the unique identifier for your utility job. You can use any string "to be used" as UID; only thing to keep in mind is that the maximum name length for it is 16 characters. |
