Lotus Domino Administrator 7 Help - Setting up DB2 on Microsoft Windows

DOMINO AND DB2

Setting up DB2 on Microsoft Windows
During DB2 server setup, Domino's administration process updates the Server document and the NOTES.INI file with information that you provide. DB2 installation creates the DB2 database but does not include any DB2 configuration, such as creating accounts, which is done separately. For more information about the DB2 key, contact your IBM representative.

Before you run the DB2 Setup wizard, set up one user account at the operating system level that you will use to install DB2. This DB2 installation user account must have Administrator rights and must adhere to the DB2 naming rules.

For information about the DB2 installation account, see Creating the DB2 installation account.

For detailed DB2 installation instructions, go to the DB2 Information Center http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2help/index.jsp.

Transaction Logging

As previously mentioned, transaction logging must be enabled on the Domino server before you install DB2. Ensure that you have enabled transaction logging. On the Server document on which you enable transaction logging, set the Log file size to at least 192 MB.

Setting up DB2 on Microsoft Windows

Follow these steps to set up DB2 on Microsoft Windows systems.

1. Run SETUP.EXE.

2. Click Install Product.

3. Choose DB2 UDB Enterprise Server Edition.

4. Click Next. The DB2 Setup wizard runs.

5. Make these selections:

Select the Typical installation option unless you wish to add additional DB2 features.
Select the default DB2 administrator name unless you are using other naming standards.
Set up an Administration Contact List. Create a Local contact list on the system unless you are using remote notification.
Enter the host name of your Domino server in the Notification SMTP Server field unless you have another SMTP server that you are using. This assumes that your Domino server is running SMTP.
Accept the default settings to configure DB2 instances. Keep a record of the instance name, as it is required to configure Domino to work with DB2.
You do not need to prepare the DB2 Tools Catalog.
You are not required to specify a contact for Health Monitor Notification, but you may choose to enter the name and Internet e-mail address of your DB2 Administrator.
