The DB2 OLAP Starter Kit install follows the basic procedures of the DB2 Universal Database install for UNIX. The product files are laid down by the installation program to a system directory: (for AIX: /usr/lpp/db2_07_01; for Solaris Operating Environment: /opt/IBMdb2/V7.1).
Then during the instance creation phase, two DB2 OLAP directories are created (essbase and is) within the instance user's home directory under sqllib. Only one instance of OLAP server can run on a machine at a time. To complete the set up, the user must manually set the is/bin directory so that it is not a link to the is/bin directory in the system. It should link to a writable directory within the instance's home directory.
To complete the setup for the Solaris Operating Environment, logon using the instance ID, change to the sqllib/is directory, then enter the following:
rm bin mkdir bin cd bin ln -s /opt/IBMdb2/V7.1/is/bin/ismesg.mdb ismesg.mdb ln -s /opt/IBMdb2/V7.1/is/bin/olapicmd olapicmd ln -s /opt/IBMdb2/V7.1/is/bin/olapisvr olapisvr ln -s /opt/IBMdb2/V7.1/is/bin/essbase.mdb essbase.mdb ln -s /opt/IBMdb2/V7.1/is/bin/libolapams.so libolapams.so
