Using the database wizard in silent mode for DB2
Run the database wizard in silent mode when you need an identical installation on multiple servers.
Before you begin
Ensure that the wizard has created the response.properties file in the user_settings/lcWizard/response/dbWizard directory.
To create a response file, run the wizard in standard mode and specify that you would like to create a response file. You can modify the existing response file or create your own, using a text editor. For more information, see the Database wizard response file topic.
(DB2® only) If you use only one database instance and if that
instance includes other databases besides IBM® Connections,
configure the numdb parameter to match the total number of databases on the instance. For more
information, go to the numdb webpage in the DB2 information
center.
Notes:
- If you migrated from IBM Connections 4.5 or 5.0, the numdb parameter was set to 14, the
maximum number of IBM Connections 4.5 or 5.0 databases. If the
instance has additional databases, increase the value of the numdb parameter to
match the total number of databases on the instance. To change the parameter, enter the following
command:
db2 UPDATE DBM CFG USING NUMDB nn
where nn is a number of databases.
- Before removing (or dropping) a database, stop Connections first to ensure that no database connection is in use; otherwise you will not drop the user and the database removal will not occur.
- If you run dbWizard.bat but the database wizard does not launch, check whether you have 32-bit DB2 installed. You need to have 64-bit DB2 on a 64-bit system.
