Create a DB2® database
to store information for the IBM® Sametime® Bandwidth Manager.
Before you begin
You can create the database on the DB2 server that you
installed for use with the Sametime System Console,
or on any DB2 server
that meets the Sametime system
requirements. The DB2 server
must be running when you create the Bandwidth Manager database.
Procedure
Complete the following steps to create the Bandwidth
Manager database.
- On the DB2 server,
log in as the DB2 administrator.
- Start the DB2 command
line window by running the following command:
- AIX® or Linux™:
db2
- Windows™:
db2cmd
- Run the following command to create the Bandwidth Manager
database:
CREATE DATABASE "Database_name" AUTOMATIC STORAGE YES ALIAS Database_name COLLATE USING UCA400_NO PAGESIZE 8 K
where Database_name is
the name of the database you are creating. The database name must
correspond to the name that you supply for the db2.connection.database
property
in the db2.connection.properties file before
installing the Bandwidth Manager application. Examples in this documentation
use "BWM_DATA" as the database name.
When naming DB2 objects,
follow the rules for your operating system.
- Verify that the new database was created by entering the
following command:
db2 connect to BWM_DATA
where BWM_DATA represents
the name of the database you created. Verify that you can connect
to the database.
- Close the DB2 command
window.
