    IBM* DB2* Universal Database for OS/2* - Version 7.1

    Copyright International Business Machines Corporation 1993, 2000. All rights reserved.

    Welcome to the Installation Notes for IBM DB2 Universal Database for OS/2. This file contains additional information about installing DB2 that became available after the DB2 books were completed. Please read these Notes prior to installing DB2. It is also recommended that you consult the Release Notes for any other late-breaking information that might not appear in the manuals.
    Note:To read this file more easily, set your font to monospace.

    This file contains information for all DB2 products available for the OS/2 operating system.

    For detailed installation instructions and other information, refer to the Quick Beginnings book for your product. The Quick Beginnings books are included in the product box, and are also available in HTML versions on the product CD.

    Installation Notes

    Functional Considerations

    On OS/2 systems, you must install the Control Center on an HPFS-formatted drive. DB2 does not support the installation of the Control Center on an OS/2 FAT drive, because an OS/2 FAT drive does not support long filenames required by Java.

    Migrating from Previous Versions of DB2

    If you are migrating from a previous version of DB2, ensure you follow the instructions in your Quick Beginnings manual in the chapter "Migrating from Previous Versions of DB2" to prepare existing databases and instances for the migration using the db2ckmig command.

    Installing DB2 Clients

    Installing the DB2 Administration Client

    The SNA stack must be installed before the DB2 Admininistration client. If the Administration client is installed before the SNA stack, the Administration client will not detect the SNA after startup.

    JDK Level Requirement

    For the DB2 Application Development client, you need JDK 1.1.8.

    IBM OS/2 Warp Developer Kit

    You need to install the IBM OS/2 Warp Developer Kit in order to use the Java-based components of DB2. For information on installation, see the readme files on the IBM OS/2 Warp Developer Kit Java Technology Edition, Version 1.1.8 CD-ROM.

    Tivoli Ready Enablement

    With the purchase of an IBM software product that carries the Tivoli Ready logo, you have the ability to manage your IBM software products through the Tivoli Enterprise management products, allowing you to automatically discover, monitor, and inventory one or more Tivoli Ready applications.

    How to Get Started

    IBM software products that are Tivoli Ready can be managed through either the Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC), or through Tivoli Global Enterprise Manager (GEM). Supported TME configurations include managing IBM applications that are installed on TME managed nodes, PC managed nodes, and endpoints in a distributed environment.

    The Tivoli web site provides a free Tivoli Ready Enablement package for Tivoli customers to download at http://www.tivoli.com/support/tme10gem/tivoli-ready
