Setting Up a Document Server

By default, the DB2 information is installed on your local system. This means that each person who needs access to the DB2 information must install the same files. To have the DB2 information stored in a single location, use the following instructions:

1. Copy all files and subdirectories from \sqllib\doc\html on your local system to a Web server. Each book has its own subdirectory containing all the necessary HTML and GIF files that make up the book. Ensure that the directory structure remains the same.

2. Configure the Web server to look for the files in the new location. For information, see the NetQuestion Appendix in Installation and Configuration Supplement.

3. If you are using the Java version of the Information Center, you can specify a base URL for all HTML files. You should use the URL for the list of books.

4. Once you are able to view the book files, you should bookmark commonly viewed topics. Among those, you will probably want to bookmark the following pages:

   • List of books

   • Tables of contents of frequently used books

   • Frequently referenced articles, such as the ALTER TABLE topic

   • The Search form

For information about setting up a search, see the NetQuestion Appendix in Installation and Configuration Supplement book.
