Team configuration - multiple db2 subsystem for the same lpar

[Martin-Zeithaml]

Hi,

How can I specify multiple db2 subsystem for the same lpar in the team config?
Typically, we have e.g. lpar LPR1, where are running approx 10 db2 subsystems, e.g. D10P, D10D, D10Q, D11P, ...

Hello,

I assume by subsystems, you mean the "database" property on a DB2 profile? If so, you can take advantage of nested profiles where the child profiles inherit properties from the parent, like the following example:

{
    "$schema": "./zowe.schema.json",
    "profiles": {
        "lpar1": {
            "properties": {
                "host": "example.com",
                "rejectUnauthorized": true
            },
            "profiles": {
                "db2": {
                    "properties": {
                        "port": 1234
                    },
                    "profiles": {
                        "d10p": {
                            "type": "db2",
                            "properties": {
                                "database": "D10P"
                            }
                        },
                        "d10d": {
                            "type": "db2",
                            "properties": {
                                "database": "D10D"
                            }
                        }
                    },
                    "secure": [
                        "user",
                        "password"
                    ]
                },
                "zosmf": {
                    "type": "zosmf",
                    "properties": {
                        "port": 443
                    }
                }
            },
            "secure": [
                "user",
                "password"
            ]
        }
    },
    "defaults": {
        "db2": "lpar1.db2.d10p",
        "zosmf": "lpar1.zosmf"
    },
    "autoStore": true
}

The above zowe.config.json defines 3 profiles:

• DB2 profile lpar1.db2.d10p (default)
• DB2 profile lpar1.db2.d10d
• z/OSMF profile lpar1.zosmf (default)

Further examples of zowe.config.json files using advanced features like profile nesting can be found here: https://docs.zowe.org/stable/user-guide/cli-using-team-configuration-team-leaders#profile-scenarios
