Subject: DB2EUG: DB2 Websphere remote
client
Hi List,
We have several Websphere v3.5 installations on
Solaris v5.6, using DB2 v6.1, with Websphere and DB2 on the same node. We now
want to implement another Websphere with the DB2 server on a different Solaris
node. We will install the DB2 components separately to enable full control
over names, placement etc. The DB2 server was installed with no problems
(touch wood). However, the doco, both DB2 and Websphere, is at best sketchy on
the requirements for installing a DB2 client, eg the Websphere Handbook
A.2.3.2 states "...you need to install the DB2 clients on the Websphere node."
Thanks!
My reading is:
- need to install the DB2 Client, the Runtime
Environment, DB2 Connect and an Admin client on the Websphere node;
- need to create a new instance on the Websphere
node;
- need to create an Admin instance on
the Websphere node;
- need to configure the
node and database directories on the Websphere node to acces the WAS database
on the DB2 server node
Can someone please confirm that all required DB2
components are listed above? Any that are not required? Is the above
procedurally correct (albeit at a very high level)?
Any gotchas or words of wisdom?
Thanks in anticipation for your help,
Jerry Long
