You can configure an external event database using DB2 Universal Database™ on
a Linux®, UNIX®, or Windows® system.
About this task
To configure a DB2® event
database on a Linux, UNIX, or Windows system:
Procedure
- Start the wsadmin tool.
- Use the AdminTask object to run the configEventServiceDB2DB administrative
command in batch or interactive mode. The minimum required
parameters of the configEventServiceDB2DB command are as follows:
- createDB
- Indicates whether the administrative command should create and
run the database configuration scripts. Specify true or false.
If this parameter is set to false, the scripts are
created but are not run. You must then run the database configuration
scripts to complete the database configuration.
- nodeName
- The name of the node that contains the server where the event
service data source should be created. If you specify a node name,
you must also specify a server name. You must specify one of the following:
- Node name and server name
- Cluster name
- serverName
- The name of the server where the event service data source should
be created.
- clusterName
- The name of the cluster where the event service data source should
be created. If you specify a cluster name, do not specify node and
server names.
- jdbcClassPath
- The path to the JDBC driver. Specify only the path to the driver
file; do not specify the file name.
- dbHostName
- The host name of the server where the database is installed.
- dbUser
- The DB2 user ID to use when
creating the event database. The specified user ID must have sufficient
privileges to create and drop databases.
- dbPassword
- The DB2 password to use.
Other parameters might be required for your environment.
For a complete list of parameters and usage information, refer to
the help for the configEventServiceDB2DB administrative command.
Results
The administrative command creates the required data source
at the specified scope; if you specified true for
the createDB parameter, the command also runs the generated database
configuration script to create the database.
The generated database
configuration scripts are stored by default in the profile_root/databases/event/node/server/dbscripts/db2
directory. (In a Network Deployment environment, these scripts are
stored under the deployment manager profile directory.) If you specified
a value for the optional outputScriptDir parameter, the scripts are
stored in that location instead. You can use these scripts to manually
configure the event database at any time.
