DB2 Data Links Manager Quick Beginnings

Post-installation tasks

Once the setup program has finished installing DB2 Data Links Manager, you must reboot your system. After rebooting, you should ensure that it successfully creates and catalogues the DLFM_DB database by logging on to the system as the Data Links Administrator and listing the contents of the System Database Directory.

To verify that the DLFM_DB database was successfully created and catalogued:

  1. Log on to the system as the DB2 Data Links Manager Administrator.
  2. Retrieve the entry for the DLFM_DB database in the System Database Directory by entering the following command:
       db2 list database directory
    

    This command should return output similar to the following:

       System Database Directory
     
       Number of entries in the directory = 1
     
      Database 1 entry:
     
       Database alias                  = DLFM_DB
       Database name                   = DLFM_DB
       Local database directory        = C:\DLFM
       Database release level          = 9.00
       Comment                         =
       Directory entry type            = Indirect
       Catalog node number             = 0
    

    If this database does not exist, see Creating and Dropping the DB2 Database on the Data Links Server.

You are now ready to set up a DB2 Data Links Manager environment and verify the installation. Go to Verifying the Installation on Windows NT for more information.
