Setting up an IBM DB2 database

Installing : Installing Focal Point : Setting up the database : Setting up an IBM DB2 database

1 Install DB2 by following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Focal Point uses the default schema, which has the same name as the database user specified.

The schema name is not configurable, other than using another database user.

2 Create a file named create_focalpoint_db2.sql that contains the SQL code that is shown below (see SQL code for IBM DB2).

3 Change the parameter values to match your environment.

▪ Do not change the table space names.

▪ For each table space, change the path to an appropriate local directory. Make sure that the local directory has read and write permissions.

▪ Based on the server configuration, specify the size for each table space.

▪ Modify the territory name, if required.

▪ Make sure that you have at least 1 GB of disk space. For large installations, you must allocate more space.

▪ If you are executing each SQL code from a command line editor, make sure that the carriage returns are removed.

4 Log on to DB2 as the DB2 administrator.

5 Execute the create_focalpoint_db2.sql file by doing one of these:

Operating system	Do this
Windows	In the command editor, type: create_focalpoint_db2.sql
Linux	In the command editor, type: db2 ‑tvf_SQL_File_path/create_focalpoint_db2.sql

6 When you have configured the database, continue with Setting up the application server.

Important: If you are using DB2 version 10.1 FP3 or later, change AUTO_STATS_PROF to ON:

UPDATE DB CONFIG USING AUTO_STATS_PROF ON AUTO_PROF_UPD ON AUTO_REORG ON
