Quick Beginnings

Before You Begin Installing on OS/2

Before you begin the installation, be sure that you have the following items and information:

• The protocol to be used for host connectivity:
  • APPC
  • TCP/IP
  • MPTN

• A user ID that has local administrator or administrator authority in User Profile Management (UPM). The Administration Server uses this user ID to log on when it is started.

  If UPM is installed, the user ID you specify must have Administrator or Local Administrator authority. Create a user ID with these characteristics if necessary; see Chapter 40. "Administering and Using OS/2 User Profile Management on OS/2 Systems" for more information.

  When prompted for this user ID and password during install, the user ID will be checked to ensure that it exists, can logon, and has administrative authority on the system. If the checks fail, install will not continue until a user ID and password are properly verified. You can minimize the install window if necessary to create the user ID, but it is recommended that this be done prior to starting the install.

  If UPM is not installed, DB2 will install it, and the user ID and password entered will be used to create a user ID with the correct authorities so that the Administration Server can be logged on and started when the system is booted.

• The names of the products you want and are licensed to install (see "Selecting Products and Components"). To see descriptions of each of the products, see Chapter 1. "About DB2 Connect".

• If you decide to install the Control Center, you must also decide whether you want the Control Center to autostart. The Control Center is a graphical tool used to perform the following DB2 administration tasks: managing databases, tables and views; configuring systems; performing database backup and recovery; scheduling jobs; and replicating data.
