Invoking the administration wizard

Follow these steps to invoke the XML Extender administration wizard.

  1. Invoke the wizard.

    For Windows NT:

    Double click on the XML Extender administration wizard icon from the desktop.

    For AIX, Sun Solaris, and Linux:

    Run the dxxadmin file.

    The administration wizard Logon window opens.

    When you invoke the XML Extender administration wizard, the Logon window is displayed. Log in to the database that you want to use when working with XML data. XML Extender connects to the current instance.

  2. In the Address field, enter the fully-qualified JDBC address to the IBM DB2 UDB data source to which you are connecting. The address has the following syntax:

    For network configurations:

    jdbc:db2://server_name:port_number/database_name
    

    Where:

    server_name
    Is the name of the server where the XML Extender is located.

    port_number
    The port number used to connect to the server. To determine the port number, enter the following command from the DB2 command line at the server machine:
    db2jstrt port#
    

    database_name
    The database to which you are connecting and storing XML documents.

    For example,

    jdbc:db2://host1.ibm.com:8080/sales_db
    

    For stand-alone configurations:

    jdbc:db2:database_name
    

    Where:

    database_name
    The database to which you are connecting and storing XML documents.

    For example,

    jdbc:db2:sales_db
    
  3. In the User ID and Password fields, enter or verify the DB2 user ID and password for the database to which you are connecting.
  4. In the JDBC Driver field, verify the JDBC driver name for the specified address using the following values:

    For network configurations:

    COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2DRIVER
    

    For stand-alone configurations:

    COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2DRIVER
