Creating a database for the Sametime Meeting Server

Before installing the IBM® Sametime® Meeting Server, create a database to store its data.

Procedure

On the DB2® server, log in as the DB2 administrator.
Find the software packages you plan to download.
Download the packages.
Extract the packages.
Open a command window and navigate to the folder where you extracted the SametimeMeetingServer installation package.
This package contains a script for creating the Meeting Server database.
Navigate to the DatabaseScripts\MeetingServer folder. For AIX® or Linux™, locate createMeetingDb.sh, or for Windows™, locate createMeetingDb.bat.
Create the database by running the following command:
- AIX or Linux
```
./createMeetingDb.sh STMS DB2_Admin
```
- Windows
```
createMeetingDb.bat STMS DB2_Admin
```
where:
- STMS is the name of the database. When naming DB2 objects, follow the rules for your operating system.
- DB2_Admin is the DB2 administrator account (an account with database administration authority)
Wait until you see confirmation that the database has been created and the command has finished.
Start the DB2 command window by running the following command:
- AIX or Linux: db2
- Windows: db2cmd
Verify that the new database was created by running the following command:
db2 connect to STMS
where STMS represents the name of the database you created. Verify that you can connect to the database.
Close the DB2 command window.
