Creating and configuring a DB2 database with scripts

Ant scripts are provided for creating and configuring a basic test database. They use the database properties from your Bootstrap.properties file.

Note: The db2_createdb.xml restart.db2 script restarts your DB2 system.

To create a database, issue the following commands:

ant -f %CURAMSDEJ%\util\db2_createdb.xml
ant -f %CURAMSDEJ%\util\db2_postconfig.xml -Ddb2.dir=db2_directory
ant -f %CURAMSDEJ%\util\db2_createdb.xml restart.db2
ant -f %CURAMSDEJ%\util\db2_optimizedbrecreation.xml

where db2_directory is the DB2 installation path. By default, c:\IBM\SQLLIB.

If you have any problems with creating the database, you can run the following script to drop the database and try again:

ant -f %CURAMSDEJ%\util\db2_createdb.xml dropdb
