Standalone server: Prepare DB2 for z/OS
Set up the DB2 for z/OS database includes creating user IDs, databases, and table spaceson a remote server.
- Standalone server: Install DB2 for z/OS
View information on how to install DB2 for z/OS for use with IBM WebSphere Portal.
- Standalone server: Create users on DB2 for z/OS
Create users for IBM DB2 Universal Database™ for z/OS to work with IBM WebSphere Portal. The Customization Dialog generates job EJPSRACthat we use to create users. Review the generated job and update it as appropriate for the installation requirements. If we use a security product such as Top Secret or ACF2 instead of RACF, modify the job
as appropriate. After you run the job, grant the necessary access rights to all users who require them. Depending on the architecture that you choose, these users might include Java Content Repository and Feedback users.
- Standalone server: Create remote databases
A remote database resides on a different machine than WebSphere Portal. You must manually create the required databases before configuring WebSphere Portal to work with DB2 for z/OS.
- Optional: Standalone server: Assign custom table spaces
The repository of WebSphere Portal consists of many tables and indicecreated in default table spaces. When using an existing set of table spaces for the objects of the repository, specify this when executing the database transfer to the target database system.
- Standalone server: Configure Portal to use DB2 for z/OS
Transfer data from the Apache Derby database to the IBM DB2 Universal Database for z/OS database that you have installed and set up.
- Standalone server: Verify database connections
After WebSphere Portal is configured to work with the database, test the database connection to ensure that it operates correctly.
