Text Extender: Administration and Programming


Creating a Text Extender instance

Before you can start to work with Text Extender, you must create a Text Extender instance. Each instance that you create offers an isolated administration environment in which you can maintain indexes, storing them in separate directories.

To create an instance in a UNIX single-node environment, enter:

    txicrt  instance-name db2-instance-name 

where instance-name is the user ID of the instance owner, and db2-instance-name is the name of the DB2 UDB instance to be associated with it.

The command in Windows NT is:

    txicrt db2-instance-name

To create instances in a multinode environment, see TXICRT.

The command to drop an instance in UNIX systems is:

    txidrop instance-name  db2-instance-name

The command to drop an instance in Windows NT systems is:

    txidrop db2-instance-name

To determine which instance you want to work with:

  1. Set the appropriate environment variable:
    set DB2INSTANCE = instance-name
    

  2. Start DB2 UDB

  3. Start Text Extender.
