Installing DB2 JDBC 2

This topic describes how to install DB2 JDBC 2 using the master console installation wizard.

Before installing DB2 JDBC 2, you need to verify that the IP address and host name for the master console are in the hosts file.
  1. Edit c:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
  2. Make sure the master console is defined in this file using both the fully-qualified domain name and the short name. For example:
    102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          rhino
  3. Save and exit the file.

Perform the following steps to install DB2 JDBC 2:

  1. From the master console installation wizard, you are prompted with a warning about active Java processes.
    Note: The master console installation wizard is also a Java process. Do not stop the master console installation wizard.
    This procedure replaces several jar files and zip files in the CLASSPATH environment variable. Therefore, you should stop all Java processes (including any Windows services implemented as Java processes) that could use (and potentially) lock these jar files and zip files.The installation wizard automatically stops some of the Windows services that could potentially lock these files, such as:
    • IBM CIM Object Manager - SVC
    • IBM FAStT Storage Manager 8 Event Monitor
    • IBM Director Support Program
    • IBM Director Server
  2. Click Next to begin the installation of DB2 JDBC 2.
