You can use the DB2 Setup wizard to install DB2 on your computer, or to create a response file. You can use the response file to perform an installation later. For example, you can use a response file to perform identical installations to a number of different computers. Also, you can make your installation choices, and perform the installation later, using a different user ID.
If you are installing the instance-owning partition in a partitioned DB2 Enterprise Server Edition (ESE) database environment and plan to install additional partitions, you can also create a second response file to use when installing the additional partitions. Use this second response file to create noninstance-owning partitions in the same partitioned database system. For more information on using response files to create additional partitions in an ESE environment, see the Quick Beginnings manual for your product.
For more information on response file installations, see the DB2 Installation and Configuration Supplement.
Click Install DB2 on this computer to perform an installation on your system. When you complete the DB2 Setup wizard it installs DB2 on your system.
Click Save your settings in a response file to create a file with which you can perform the installation at a later time or on a different system. If you are installing the instance-owning partition in a partitioned DB2 ESE server, this also creates a second response file for installing other partitions.
