WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS, Version 6.2.0 Operating Systems: z/OS


Creating a response file for a stand-alone configuration with a DB2 database

You can create a response file to use when configuring WebSphere® ESB for z/OS® in a stand-alone configuration with a DB2® database. A stand-alone configuration has a single node running an application server and one daemon server in a single z/OS® system or LPAR. When you use a DB2 database you must make considerable changes to the response file, and you must set up and configure the database. If you want to quickly set up a stand-alone configuration for evaluation or demonstration purposes, you might prefer to use a Derby database instead.

Procedure
  1. Create and customize a DB2JccConfiguration.properties file to provide WebSphere Application Server with information about the DB2 sub system:
    1. Create the file in a suitable directory. For example /etc/db2cfg.
    2. Set the permissions on the directory so that the WebSphere Control Region user ID and the user ID that runs your WebSphere ESB configuration jobs can read the properties file.
    3. Make sure the DB2JccConfiguration.properties file contains the following line:
         db2.jcc.ssid=DB15
      Where dbn is the SSID of your installation, for example DB15. For details of all the other possible properties you can change in the DB2JccConfiguration.properties files refer to the manual DB2 for z/OS V8.1 Application Programming Guide and Reference for Java™ (SC18-741).
  2. Create a response file to provide input to the configuration script zWESBConfig.sh. A sample response file for a stand-alone server with DB2 is supplied in usr/lpp/zWPS/VR62/zos.config/standaloneProfileDB2.rsp.
    1. Copy the sample response file, standaloneProfileDB2.rsp, to your working directory. For example:
      cp /usr/lpp/zWPS/VR62/zos.config/standaloneProfileDB2.rsp /u/work/
    2. Use the chmod command to assign the appropriate permissions to the copy of the response file. For example:
      chmod 755 standaloneProfileDB2.rsp
    3. Set the -dbDelayConfig parameter to true to prevent the configuration script automatically running the DDL scripts to create the database objects. You will run the DDL scripts later.
    4. Edit the other parameters in the response file as appropriate to your configuration.
    5. Save the edited response file.

You are now ready to configure your WebSphere ESB installation. See Creating common configurations for more information.
