Creating a database for Sametime Advanced Server

Before installing IBM® Sametime® Advanced, create a database to store its data.

Procedure

On the DB2® server, log in as the DB2 administrator.
Open a command window and navigate to the directory where you extracted the SametimeAdvancedServer installation package.
Navigate to the DatabaseScripts\AdvancedServer subdirectory.
Run the createAdvancedDb script with the following command:
- Linux™
```
./createAdvancedDb.sh STADV DB2_admin
```
- Windows™
```
createAdvancedDb.bat STADV DB2_admin
```
where:
- DB2_admin is the user name of the DB2 administrator account that you created when you installed DB2.
- STADV is the unique database name. When naming DB2 objects, follow the rules for your operating system.
Start the DB2 command window by running the following command:
- Linux: db2
- Windows: db2cmd
Verify that the new database was created by entering the following command:
db2 connect to STADV
where STADV represents the name of the database you created. Verify that you can connect to the database.
Close the DB2 command window.
