Ensuring that the database is started on Windows

To ensure an operational WebSphere Commerce environment, the associated DB2 database can be activated through Windows services.

Procedure

To ensure that DB2 is started on Windows:
1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management.
2. In the Computer Management console, expand Services and Applications and select Services.
3. Ensure that all services that start with "DB2" have a status of Started.
  The following services are optional if you are using a local database:
  - DB2 Governor
  - DB2 JDBC Applet Server
  - DB2 Security Server
  Refer to the DB2 documentation for information about when these services should be started.
4. If any of these services are not started, right-click the service name and select Start from the pop-up window to start the service. Ensure that you start the services in the order they are listed above. Starting the services in a different order may prevent DB2 from starting correctly.
To ensure that Oracle is started on Windows, follow the instructions in the Oracle documentation.
