Choose a method for creating databases in the DB2 for z/OS subsystem
When you use the database design tool to define your database configuration, you can generate the database scripts that are required for creating the databases for the IBM BPM components.
This option is available when you are installing on z/OS only.
You can use various tools to run these database scripts, based on personal preference, or the standards or conventions for the tools used in your organization:
- When you run the database design tool to generate the database scripts, the createDB2.sh script is also generated.
You can use createDB2.sh to run the database scripts. createDB2.sh runs in a UNIX System Services environment and can create all your database objects in one single execution of the tool. Therefore, this tool is a good choice if this is your first server implementation.
- You can use tools such as the DB2 command line processor, SPUFI, or DSNTEP2 to run the database scripts in the UNIX Systems Services environment or from a z/OS environment.
You must first run the createDB2.sh script in a mode that bypasses execution of the SQL statements and instead consolidates them into two .sql files. You can then run these files by using the DB2 command line processor, SPUFI, or DSNTEP2.
