Installing IBM DB2 Universal Database Enterprise Server Edition 8

IBM DB2 Enterprise Server 8.2 is one of the supported databases for use with WebSphere Message Broker, other versions of DB2 are also supported. For a production system you must install one of the supported databases, for example, DB2 Enterprise Server, for a full list of suitable databases, see Supported databases.
Note: For Windows users, Apache Derby (delivered by IBM Cloudscape), is also supplied with WebSphere Message Broker and can be installed from the Launchpad as part of the WebSphere Message Broker product install, this provides sufficient resource for a broker database, and install verification, but is not sufficient for a production system. For information about how to install Derby as part of the WebSphere Message Broker install see Installation Guide.

DB2 Enterprise Server 8.2 is supplied on a CD supplied with the WebSphere Message Broker product and can be installed either before or after you have installed WebSphere Message Broker. To install DB2 see the install.html file on the CD. There is also help built into the Install Wizard following license acceptance.
