Creating DB2 databases for applications schedulers

Before you begin

This topic describes how to create DB2 databases for scheduler, using data definition language (DDL) or structured query language (SQL) files.

Why and when to perform this task

To create a DB2 database for an application scheduler, follow these steps.

Steps for this task

  1. Open a DB2 command-line window.
  2. Make sure that you have administrator rights for the database system.
  3. Verify that the database supports Unicode (UTF-8). Otherwise, it cannot store all the characters that can be handled in Java code, which might result in code page conversion problems, when a client uses an incompatible code page. To avoid deadlocks, be sure that the DB2 isolation level is set to "read stability". If necessary, enter the command
    db2set DB2_RR_TO_RS=YES
    then restart the DB2 instance to activate the change.
  4. In the DB2 command line processor, enter this command to create the database with an example name, scheddb:
    db2 CREATE DATABASE scheddb USING CODESET UTF-8 TERRITORY en-us
    A DB2 database named scheddb has been created.

Result

The DB2 database for the scheduler exists.
