AIX stand-alone: Create groups and assign users for IBM DB2 for i


Before transferring the databases to IBM DB2 Universal Databaseā„¢ for i, create the users and groups specified in wkplc_dbdomain.properties and assign the users to their corresponding group. The user and group names must comply with both the database management system software requirements and WebSphere Portal requirements.

  1. If you have provided a value in wkplc_dbdomain.properties indicating that a runtime user should be used to connect to the database at runtime, create a user for...

      dbdomain.DbRuntimeUser

    When creating these users, use the same user ids and passwords entered in wkplc_dbdomain.properties.

    You do not need to create a group for dbdomain.DbConfigRoleName for IBM DB2 for i.

  2. If you have provided a value in wkplc_dbdomain.properties for dbdomain.DbRuntimeRoleName, create a group for...

      dbdomain.DbRuntimeRoleName

    • The length of group names that you create cannot exceed 10 characters to ensure successful database transfer.

    • Group names must exist before running the create-database configuration task.

    • Database rights are granted to the group instead of individuals.

  3. If dbdomain.DbRuntimeUser is specified, assign the created user for dbdomain.DbRuntimeUser to the created group for dbdomain.DbRuntimeRoleName.

    You must set dbdomain.DbRuntimeUser to be the password of the runtime database user.
