Installing DB2 Everyplace files on a Palm OS device

This section describes how to manually install DB2 Everyplace libraries and sample applications on a Palm OS mobile device.

Prerequisites

Before you install the libraries and sample applications, you need to perform the following steps:

  1. On your Windows workstation, install and configure the HotSync connection software that came with the Palm OS device.
  2. Connect the Palm OS mobile device to the Windows workstation. Use the mobile device's documentation to ensure that it is connected correctly.

Procedure

To install the DB2 Everyplace libraries and sample application files manually:

  1. On the workstation, use the Install Tool of the HotSync connection software that is included with the Palm OS mobile device to install the following files. The sample .prc files are optional for production, and can be deleted when you no longer need them. Table 187 contains the Palm OS database and sample files. These files are located in \DB2everyplace\Clients. In the following tables, lang is a language code.

    Table 187. Palm OS database and sample files

    File Name Description
    PalmOS\database\DB2eCat.prc DB2 Everyplace database engine
    PalmOS\database\DB2eCLI.prc DB2 Everyplace database engine
    PalmOS\database\DB2eComp.prc DB2 Everyplace database engine
    PalmOS\database\DB2eRunTime.prc DB2 Everyplace database engine
    PalmOS\database\DB2eDMS.prc DB2 Everyplace database engine
    PalmOS\database\PBSPkcs11.prc Encryption library
    utilities\lang\DB2eImport DB2 Everyplace Import tool
    PalmOS\database\Samples\lang\SampleCLP\ DB2eCLP.prc DB2 Everyplace Command Line Processor
    PalmOS\database\Samples\lang\Phone\Phone.prc Phonebook sample program
    PalmOS\database\Samples\lang\Nurse\Nurse.prc Visiting Nurse sample program

    PalmOS\database\JDBC\xtr\sample\DB2eAppl.prc Sample JDBC app for use with J9 XTREME

    See Overview of DB2 Everyplace sample applications for information on the location of the sample applications.

  2. If you plan to use the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server, install the following SyncClient files. Table 188 contains the Palm OS SyncClient files. These files are located in \DB2Everyplace\Clients\PalmOS\Sync\.

    Table 188. Palm OS SyncClient files

    File Name Description
    dsyagent.prc IBM Sync Remote Stored Procedure adapter
    imsaconfig.prc IBM Sync Configuration adapter
    imsadb2e.prc IBM Sync DB2 Everyplace adapter
    imsafile.prc IBM Sync File adapter
    isyncconf.prc IBM Sync engine
    isyncore.prc IBM Sync engine
    isyncui.prc IBM Sync interface
    wbxmllib.prc IBM Sync WBXML library
    iUpgrade.prc IBM Sync Auto Deploy
    isyncxpt.prc IBM Sync transport library
    SSLlib.prc IBM Sync SSL library

    Encryption support is available only on Palm OS 3.5 devices or later. The PBSPkcs11.prc file must be installed to use encryption between a Palm OS mobile device and the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server.

  3. Perform a HotSync function to complete the installation of the DB2 Everyplace libraries and application files to the Palm OS mobile device.
