This section describes the most important keywords that
you will specify when performing a distributed installation of DB2 Satellite
Edition on Windows 32-bit operating systems.
- COMP
- Specifies the components you want to install. The setup program
automatically installs components that are required for a product, and ignores
requested components that are not available.
| Note: | Component selections have no effect unless you specify a custom installation
(TYPE = 2).
|
- DB2.AUTOSTART
- Specifies whether or not to automatically start the DB2 instance each time
the system is rebooted.
By default, the DB2 instance starts automatically unless this parameter is
set to NO.
- DB2.SATCTLDB_USERNAME and DB2.SATCTLDB_PASSWORD
- Specifies the user ID and password that will be used by the satellite when
connecting to the satellite control database (SATCTLDB) on the DB2 control
server. The user ID and password are used to authenticate the
connection to the database. It is not mandatory that you enter this
information at installation time, but it is recommended that you do so if you
have the information. The user ID and password cannot be authenticated
at installation time.
If you choose not to provide this information at installation time, you can
do so later by running the DB2 synchronization application in test mode by
issuing the db2sync -t command. You will then be prompted
for the user ID and password required to make the connection.
- DB2.DB2SATELLITEID
- Specifies the unique ID for the satellite and sets the DB2SATELLITEID
registry variable on the satellite. The ID must be unique across all
groups that are recorded at the DB2 control server. It must match an ID
defined for a satellite at the control server. The satellite ID is used
during the synchronization process to identify the satellite. The ID
can be a maximum of 20 characters.
It is not recommended that you provide the DB2SATELLITEID in the response
file as it must be unique, unless you are customizing the value of
DB2SATELLITEID for each system the response file will be used on. The
DB2SATELLITEID can be set after the installation using the db2set
command.
If not specified, the Windows login ID is used in its place during the
synchronization process.
- DB2.DB2SATELLITEAPPVER
- Specifies the satellite's application software version. The
version can be a maximum of 18 characters and numbers. The value
specified must match an application version defined for the group to which the
satellite belongs as defined at the satellite control server. If it
does, then scripts associated with this application version will be used to
maintain the satellite during the synchronization process. A default
version V1R0M00 has been supplied, but this value can be changed. These
values can be set or changed after installation.
- DB2.USERDB_NAME
- Specifies the name for the database that DB2 can create during the
installation of DB2 Satellite Edition. If no value is provided, the
database is not created.
- DB2.USERDB_REP_SRC
- Specifies that the database will be used as a DB2 replication
source. DB2 will configure the database so that changes to application
data can be written to change tables by the Capture program. The Apply
program will then use the captured changes to synchronize application data
with other systems. In addition to configuring the database to capture
data changes, you must define the application tables for which changes will be
gathered. For more information on the data capture changes
parameter of the CREATE TABLE statement, refer to SQL Reference. This configuration step can be done when the installation
process is complete and the application tables are defined in the
database.
- DB2.USERDB_RECOVERABLE
- Specifies that the database on the satellite is recoverable. DB2
will configure the database for forward recovery by setting the
logretain parameter to recovery. You will be
required to manage the database log files and take backups of the
database. Before the database can be used, you will have to back it
up. If this keyword is not specified, the database will not be
configured for forward recovery. Database log files will be managed
automatically by DB2. You will not be required to take a backup copy of
the database before the database can be used. However, data can be lost
if a disk failure occurs.
For more information on database recovery, see Chapter 9, Recovering the Satellite Environment.
- DB2SYSTEM
- Specifies a name for the system which is unique within a network.
This parameter must be specified.
- FILE
- Specifies the destination directory for a DB2 product.
- PROD
- Specifies the product you want installed. You want to install
UDB_SATELLITE for DB2 Satellite Edition.
- REBOOT
- Specifies whether to restart the system when the installation is
complete.
- TYPE
- Specifies the type of install.
The options are:
- 0 = Compact
- 1 = Typical (default)
- 2 = Custom
| Note: | A compact or typical install type will ignore any custom keywords
(COMP).
