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:
set DB2INSTANCE = instance-name
