When the WebSphere® Application Server deployment tooling
deploys an EJB jar file containing container-managed persistence (CMP) enterprise
beans, it selects the target database and creates a corresponding Table.ddl file.
This file contains the SQL statement necessary to generate the database table
for your CMP beans.
About this task
The following steps demonstrate the process for creating tables
in DB2®.
Procedure
- Extract the Table.ddl file from your CMP
enterprise bean JAR file and save it on your database server.
- Save the file to a working directory, such as C:\temp,
on your DB2 machine.
- Run the Table.ddl file.
- Run the command C:\temp>db2cmd, replacing C:\temp with
your chosen directory. A DB2 command window is displayed, in which you enter the
following commands (replacing C:\temp with your chosen directory):
- C:\temp>db2 connect to your_db_name
- C:\temp>db2 -tf Table.ddl //This command runs and
creates tables for your CMP enterprise bean.
- C:\temp>db2 disconnect all
Note: If you run DB2 on supported UNIX
® systems, use these same commands.
Run them from a user with permissions for DB2, rather than from a DB2 command window.
Results
The database tables are created.
