The sibDDLGenerator command
generates the data definition language (DDL) statements needed to
create the DBMS (Database Management System) resources used by the
messaging engine.

Purpose
A messaging engine needs DBMS resources,
such as database tables, which it can create when starting. If your
installation has a policy that only a database administrator has the
authority to create database tables, use the sibDDLGenerator command
to enable your database administrator to create the DBMS resources
that the messaging engine needs. The sibDDLGenerator command
generates the DDL statements that your database administrator can
save, and later process, to create the DBMS resources that are listed
in Data store tables.
The
command also generates DDL statements that grant the appropriate authorities
to use these tables.
Note: The SIBDDLGenerator command
is able to generate the DDL statements for creating or dropping all
of the data store's tables. It is less well suited for adding more
item tables to an existing data store. However, it is possible to
reissue the DDL statements to create existing tables without harming
the data store.
Optional parameters
Tip: The sibDDLGenerator command
is case-sensitive. For example, the parameter Oracle is
not the same as oracle.
Some
parameters apply to a specific DBMS only, as indicated in the parameter
list; for example: -database [Applies only to DB2® for z/OS]
- -system
- Identifies the type of DBMS on which the administrator will process
the DDL statements. Valid values are:
- db2
- oracle
- sqlserver
- sybase
- informix
- derby
- cloudscape
If you do not supply a -system parameter,
the default value is derby.
- -version
- The version number of the DBMS identified by -system.
If you do not supply a -version parameter, the
default value is that shown in the following table. To determine if
the database you wish to use is supported, or if there are any prerequisites,
see Supported hardware and software Web page

Note:
- If you are using DB2 8.1
or higher, always supply a version of 8.1, or alternatively
omit the version completely. Do not supply any version number other
than 8.1 since this will not be recognized.
- For iSeries®, the DB2 database is part of the operating
system, so the version number given is for the OS/400® version.
- -platform
- The operating system platform on which the DBMS runs. Valid values
are:
- -schema
- The name of the schema that contains all the objects used by the
messaging engine. If you do not supply a -schema parameter,
the default value is IBMWSSIB.
- -user
- The name of the user ID that is used to interact with the DBMS.
If you do not supply a -user parameter, the
default value is IBMUSER
- -create | -drop
- Indicates whether the DDL statements create the DBMS resources
or delete them. If you do not supply either parameter, the default
value is -create.
- -database [Applies only to DB2 for
z/OS]
- The name of the database that is allocated for the messaging engine
tables. If you do not supply a -database parameter,
the default value is SIBDB.
- -storagegroup [Applies only to DB2 for
z/OS]
- The name of the storage group that is allocated for the messaging
engine tables. If you do not supply a -storagegroup parameter,
the default value is SIBSG.
- -bufferpool [Applies only to DB2 for
z/OS]
- The name of the buffer pool that is allocated for the messaging
engine tables. If you do not supply a -bufferpool parameter,
the default value is BP1.
- -statementend
- Appends statement end to each DDL statement.
For example, you can use ; to append a semicolon
to each DDL statement. By default, the sibDDLGenerator command
appends nothing to each statement.
Tip: On UNIX® platforms, escape the semicolon to prevent
the shell from interpreting it.
- -nolinebreaks
- Places each statement on a single line, with no line breaks. By
default, the sibDDLGenerator command breaks statements
across lines to improve readability.
- -noblanklines
- Omits blank lines between each statement. By default, the sibDDLGenerator command
inserts a blank line between each statement to improve readability.
- -firstline
- Generates first line as the first line of output.
For example, you can use first line to identify the
target database. By default, the sibDDLGenerator command
does not generate a first line.
- -lastline
- Generates last line as the last line of output.
For example, you can use last line to invoke a command
that executes the commands in the script. By default, the sibDDLGenerator command
does not generate a last line.
Tip: The optional parameters that control
the format of the DDL statements, for example -statementend,
enable you to generate output that is suitable for particular scripting
tools, for example the DB2 CLP.
By default, the sibDDLGenerator command generates
blank lines between each DDL statement but does not append a semicolon
at the end of each DDL statement.
Examples
- sibDDLGenerator -system db2 -version 8.1 -platform zos
Generates
DDL statements for DB2 8.1,
running on z/OS®, with a default
schema, user ID, database, storage group, and buffer pool.
- sibDDLGenerator -system db2 -version 8.1 -platform windows -statementend ;
Generates
DDL statements for DB2 8.1,
running on Windows®, with
a default schema, user ID, and database. You can input the statements
directly to the DB2 CLP, which
requires that each statement is terminated with a semicolon.
- sibDDLGenerator -system oracle -version 8i -schema SIB -user fred
Generates
DDL statements for Oracle 8i.
- sibDDLGenerator -system oracle -schema SIB -user fred
