Ensure that the database is started on Windows

To ensure an operational WebSphere Commerce environment, the associated DB2 database can be activated through Windows services.

• (DB2) To ensure that DB2 Universal Database is started on Windows:

  1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management.

  2. In the Computer Management console, expand Services and Applications and select Services.

  3. Ensure that all services that start with "DB2" have a status of Started.

     The following services are optional if you are using a local database:

     • DB2 Governor

     • DB2 JDBC Applet Server

     • DB2 Security Server

     Refer to the DB2 Universal Database documentation for information about when these services should be started.

  4. If any of these services are not started, right-click the service name and select Start from the pop-up window to start the service. Ensure that you start the services in the order they are listed above. Starting the services in a different order may prevent DB2 Universal Database from starting correctly.

• (Oracle) To ensure that Oracle is started on Windows, follow the instructions in the Oracle documentation.
