Command syntax
For UNIX:
>>-txicrt--instance-name--db2-instance-name---------------------> >-----+----------------------------+----------------------------> '-port-start--+-----------+--' '-port-end--' >-----+-----------------------+---+-----------+---------------->< '- -nodes--identifiers--' '- -client--'
For Windows NT:
>>-txicrt--db2-instance-name----+----------------------------+--> '-port-start--+-----------+--' '-port-end--' >-----+-----------------------+---+-----------+---------------->< '- -nodes--identifiers--' '- -client--'
Command parameters
The port range must be equal to the number of nodes you want to work on. If you are working with one node, specify only a port-start parameter. To support a subset of nodes, use the port-last parameter.
Do not specify a port range if the instance is created on a single-partition database.
Use only port numbers that are not already listed in the TCP/IP etc/services file. Do not specify port numbers for client-only installations.
Use this parameter if your table belongs to specific nodes in a nodegroup.
If this parameter is not specified, all nodes are used, that is, all the nodes defined in db2nodes.cfg.
Do not specify node identifiers for client-only installations.
Specify this parameter if you have a Text Extender client-only installation. If you do not specify this parameter, TXICRT configures a client/server instance of Text Extender.
Usage notes
Enabling text tables or columns is possible only on nodes where you have created a Text Extender instance.
A DB2 instance must already have been created for the user ID.
In UNIX installations, this instance-specific command is in the /usr/lpp/db2tx_05_02/instance directory.
