Yes, DB2 was installed. I do not remember the screen now to know if I had an option, but it did get DB2 installed. We have Websphere, and were told to install DB2 for websphere, and not use the DB2 which comes with websphere.
In V7.x DB2Connect EE, the administration server (DAS) was installed, I did not see that at all with V8. The "documentation" may have said it was not available for Linux, but the documentation is rubbish - had I mentioned that? :) I did not use the CCA, I used the DB2 command line. See below - cut&paste from MY installation notes. -- enter the following commands while in the DB2 interactive mode. 1) Logon to db2 : su - db2inst1 2) Change to the DB2 directory: cd /home/db2inst1/sqllib 3) Execute the db2 profile: . db2profile (a space must precede db2profile) 4) Invoke db2 interactive mode: db2 catalog tcpip node dbt1node remote ourhost.com Server 446 catalog dcs db dbt1 as usgigdbt1 catalog database dbt1 as dbt1 at node dbt1node authentication dcs [END] Test your DB2 Connect setup by connecting to the remote OS/390 DB2 database. connect to dbt1 user userid select name from sysibm.sysdatabase with ur [END] need more info? email Glenn -----Original Message----- From: James Melin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 9:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition for Linux/Zseries So what did you have to to do be able to use the configuration assistant? (db2ca) I set java home to /opt/java which has a softlink to the IBM JRE bin directory. It still fails. And did you have to install the instance of DB2? I couldn't see a way around it.

Here's what I did: 1) Download and install on your desktop the Cygwin/XFree86 X-Server from www.cygwin.com. 2) Launch Cygwin on your desktop and in the window type: cd /usr/X11R6/bin && startx 3) A few xterm sessions will start in another window; in one of them do: ps -a <note the PID of task /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm> kill <PID> xhost +your-linux-hostname 4) On Linux do: export DISPLAY=ip.address.of.desktop:0 startkde & (this starts the Windows Manager KDE) cd /your.db2.install.directory ./install.sh & (or whatever it's called) The DB2 install window should appear in you Cygwin window.

The manual doesn't have a specific Linux 390 section, however I get teh following error when I try to run the db2setup process. DBI1190I db2setup is preparing the DB2 Setup Wizard which will guide you through the program setup process. Please wait. The DISPLAY variable is not set properly. Ensure that the DISPLAY variable is set properly and that permissions are set properly to open windows on the display specified, then rerun the command. nokomis:/opt/DB2_V81_CONEE_LNX390_NLV # It appears that it's gonna do something with x windows, for a gui client to do the actual setup. The documentation I have doesn't mention doing an export display etc. sort of thing. Anyone been here? The 7.2 Db2 Connect EE was shell based.
