Prepare DB2 for i5/OS for a stand-alone production server
To setup a remote DB2 for i5/OS database, create user IDs and databases on a remote server. Tasks are provided to assist with creating the user IDs and the databases. Before you can use the tasks, modify properties files.
Prerequisites
- Prepare your System i5
- Installing WebSphere Portal on i5/OS
- Prepare for creation of databases
View the mandatory preparation tasks prior to creating databases that are required by WebSphere Portal.
- Create user profiles
View information on setting up user profiles for DB2 for i5/OS to work with WebSphere Portal.
- Creating remote databases
A remote database resides on a different system than WebSphere Portal. When you use a remote server, manually create the databases that are required by WebSphere Portal.
- Modifying database properties
Learn how to modify the wkplc.properties, wkplc_comp.properties, and wkplc_dbtype.properties files to work with your database. Modify these property files before running tasks to create databases, create users, or transfer data.
- Transferring DB2 for i5/OS manually
View the steps to manually transfer data to the IBM DB2 Universal Database™ for iSeries database you have set up. As an alternative to the manual database transfer procedure described here, you can use the configuration wizard to complete the database transfer task.
- Verify database connections
After WebSphere Portal is configured to work with your database, test the database connection to ensure that it operates correctly.
