Creating a DB2® database

The following instructions describe how to manually create the DB2® database for Leap.

Before you begin

In a production environment, you must create DB2® database before you install HCL Leap to WebSphere® Application Server .

Note: Do not create a database if you want to continue using the same database with the existing user content.

Procedure

To set up the DB2® database:

Create an empty DB2® database with a maximum database name of 8 characters, and a maximum page size of 32768.

Connect to the database and create a User Temporary table space.

Use the following settings for the temporary table space:

Large_usertemp pagesize 32K
Managed by automatic storage extentsize 16
<bufferpool-name> is the name of your DB2® large buffer pool. Each DB2® server can have a different name.

db2 "CREATE DB FEBDB using codeset UTF-8 territory us PAGESIZE 32768"
 db2 connect to FEBDB
db2 "CREATE BUFFERPOOL bufferpool-name IMMEDIATE SIZE 250 PAGESIZE 32K"
db2 "CREATE USER TEMPORARY TABLESPACE LARGE_USERTEMP PAGESIZE 32k MANAGED BY AUTOMATIC STORAGE EXTENTSIZE 16 PREFETCHSIZE 16 BUFFERPOOL bufferpool-name"
