(For CICS only) Customized messages are a part of the AMD2 message module, AMD2CAMX. Previous mainframe access product releases supplied messages through DB2 Version 8.1. Depending on the DB2 version at your site, consider the following:
If your site has not added customized messages (other than updating those supplied as standard for DB2 Version 8.1), you can install the DB2 UDB Option for CICS without first preserving your customized messages.
The DB2 UDB Options for CICS and IMS message tables include messages supplied through DB2 Version 8.1. Customized messages are always added to the messages supplied by the DB2 UDB Options for CICS and IMS; they usually do not replace them.
If your site added customized messages that are not DB2 standard messages, preserve them now if you do not want the installation process to overwrite them. Then, you can add your customized messages to the AMD2CAMX message table after installing this release.
