Post-installation considerations

After you successfully install DB2 Spatial Extender, you need to consider:

• Downloading ArcExplorer
• Running the DB2 instance update utility

Downloading ArcExplorer

IBM distributes ArcExplorer Java 3.0 as a sample program or you can obtain it from the ESRI Web site at http://www.esri.com .

For more information on installing and using ArcExplorer, refer to the Using ArcExplorer book, which is also available on the ESRI Web site.

ArcExplorer requires Java^(R) 2 Runtime Environment (Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition), V1.2.2 available at no charge from the Sun Web site at http://java.sun.com.

Important:

DB2 Universal Database V7.1 is shipped with IBM JDK 1.1.8. When you install JRE 1.2.2 for ArcExplorer, place it in a separate directory from DB2. Remember to set the CLASSPATH environment variable appropriately.

Running the DB2 instance update utility (db2iupdt)

The db2iupdt utility updates a specified DB2 instance to:

• Enable the instance to acquire a new system configuration.
• Enable the instance to access a function associated with installing or removing certain product options.

On AIX, this utility is located in /usr/lpp/db2_07_01. If you need help, type db2iupdt -h on the command line to open a help menu. On the Windows NT operating system, db2iupdt is located in the \sqllib\bin directory. Change to that directory to type the command. For a complete description of this command, refer to the IBM DB2 Universal Database Command Reference.
