AIX stand-alone: Create a local DB2 database automatically
This section provides information on using ConfigEngine tasks to create databases when using a local DB2 installation. If we are using a remote DB2 installation, we cannot create databases using ConfigEngine. Create the databases manually.Before beginning, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
- The database management system software is installed.
The create-database task cannot be run by a non-root user.
- Create the databases:
cd WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine
./ConfigEngine.sh create-database -DWasPassword=foo
- Check the services file on the DB2 server system. If it does not specify DB2 connection and interrupt service ports, specify the ports for the operating system.
- Edit /etc/services
- Add the text db2c_db2 50000/tcp, where db2 is the default instance.
Ensure the port number used is not already in use. If 50000 is already is use, select a different port number.
