Create DB2 databases for schedulers

Create DB2 databases for scheduler using DDL or SQL files.

To create DB2 databases for scheduler, using DDL or SQL files, use these steps.

1. Open a DB2 command-line window.

2. Make sure that we have administrator rights for the database system.

3. Verify that the database supports Unicode (UTF-8). Otherwise, it cannot store all the characters that can be handled in Java code, which might result in code page conversion problems, when a client uses an incompatible code page.

   To avoid deadlocks, be sure that the DB2 isolation level is set to "read stability". If necessary, enter the command

   db2set DB2_RR_TO_RS=YES

   then restart the DB2 instance to activate the change.

4. In the DB2 command line processor, enter this command to create the database with an example name, scheddb:
   db2 CREATE DATABASE scheddb USING CODESET UTF-8 TERRITORY en-us

   A DB2 database named scheddb has been created.

Results

The DB2 database for the scheduler exists.
