*********************************************************************** ** ** ** (c) COPYRIGHT INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION 1998. ** ** ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. ** ** ** *********************************************************************** Welcome to IBM* DB2 Universal Database* (DB2*) Text Extender Version 6.1.2 DB2 Text Extenders Version 6.1.2 for AIX, Solaris and HPUX can operate in a non-partitioned database environment. It can also exploit the partitioned database support provided by DB2 Extended Enterprise Edition. This file describes how to install DB2 Text Extenders Version 6.1.2 for AIX. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS _________________________ Before you install DB2 Text Extender, ensure you meet the installation requirements for the server and client components. SERVER REQUIREMENTS The server components prerequire the installation of DB2 Version 6.1 (or above). CLIENT REQUIREMENTS The client components prerequire installation of the DB2 Version 6.1 (or above) Personal Edition, DB2 Version 6.1 (or above) Client Application Enabler, or DB2 Version 6.1 (or above) Software Developer's Kit. INSTALLING THE DB2 TEXT EXTENDER _____________________________________ 1. Install the product components in the target machine AIX. 2. Establish the DB2 Text Extender instance. 3. Establish the DB2 Text Extender instance environment. STEP 1 - INSTALL THE PRODUCT COMPONENTS IN THE TARGET MACHINE AIX 4.x During installation, a group smadmin is created automatically. If you have created your DB2 instance with a different fenced userid than the DB2 instance owner userid, make sure that the fenced userid belongs to the smadmin group as well. 1. Log in at the target client or server machine as the root user. 2. Use installp to transfer the files from the U472366.pkg to the target machine. You can use the System Management Interface tool (SMIT) to run installp from a prompted interface, or you can enter the installp command. To run smit: a. Enter the smit install_latest command. The Software Installation and Maintenance Tool menu opens. b. Type in the location of the package in the INPUT device / directory for software field. c. Click the DO button or press ENTER. This confirms the installation directory. d. Identify in the SOFTWARE TO INSTALL field whether the client or server components are to be installed. e. Click the DO button or press ENTER. f. You are prompted for confirmation of the installation parameters. To confirm, press ENTER. g. Identify in the SOFTWARE TO INSTALL field which (if any) diction- aries you want to install in the client. (All DB2 Text Extender dictionaries are automatically installed in the server when you install the server components.) Table 2 lists the DB2 Text Extender dictionaries. Installing a dictionary also installs the stop words for that language. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Table 2.

Logout. STEP 2 - ESTABLISH THE DB2 TEXT EXTENDER INSTANCE 1. Ensure you are active as the root user. 2. If you want to create a new Text Extender instance, enter: cd /usr/lpp/db2tx_06_01/instance (AIX) Run txicrt as follows: ./txicrt instanceid db2instanceid [port] __________ where instanceid is an existing DB2 instance user ID or a user ID to be __________ associated with a DB2 instance and db2instanceid is an existing DB2 instance ID. Running txicrt creates the /u/instanceid/db2tx directory. Do not __________ create additional files or directories under /u/instanceid/db2tx; these __________ files will be lost if the instance is deleted. Additional parameters are required if you are using a partitioned database environment. For further information about the txicrt command read the DB2 Text Extender Administration and Programming guide. 3. If you have an existing instance you must update the existing Text Extender instance. Use: ./txiupdt instanceid db2instanceid __________ to update your 6.1 Text Extender instance with the new files. 4. Logout. STEP 3 ESTABLISH THE DB2 TEXT EXTENDER INSTANCE ENVIRONMENT. 1. Logon with the instanceid. 2. Stop and start DB2 before you start working with DB2 Text Extender. 3. Start DB2 Text Extender server with txstart. 4. Now you can start working with DB2 Text Extender! * are trademarks or registered trademarks of IBM Corporation. ** are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners.
