IBM i clustered server: Create DB2 for IBM i user profiles

View information on setting up user profiles for IBM DB2 for i to work with WebSphere Portal.

Before beginning:

• The user profile for the database owner should be different from the administrator user profile used to perform the installation. The administrator user profile may have more authority than is required and usually belongs to an individual, where as the database user profile may have minimal authority and can be shared.

• Create a database user profile that does not require a password change over a period of time. If the password for the database user profile changes, WebSphere Portal must be re-configured to use the new password.

• Create users in an environment that has the same settings as the actual runtime environment.

  For example, avoid creating a user in an English environment if you plan to use that user in a Turkish environment.
