These instructions identify how to establish the DB2 CAE program to run on WorkSpace On-Demand clients.
Use these steps to setup DB2 CAE:
Install DB2 CAE on an OS/2 client. After the installation of DB2 CAE completes on the client, XCOPY the DB2 CAE files into the RPL tree on the WorkSpace On-Demand Server as shown below.
Use the following commands to install the DB2 CAE files on the server.C: represents the drive where the DB2 CAE files reside.
To enable DB2 on a client:
When you create a client, the process creates client specific FIT files and client specific directories on the server in the \IBMLAN\RPLUSER\machine subdirectory. Machine represents the name of the client.
DB2 CAE requires FFST support. Verify that the following entries are present in the client \IBMLAN\RPL\MACHINES\machine_name\CONFIG.SYS file. Where machine_name represents the name of the client.
Note: Pre-existing values (such as LIBPATH, PATH, DPATH, and HELP) may be present. If these values exist, append the additional path to the END of the pre-existing statement. For other entries (such as THREADS=), modify the setting according to these conditions. If the value is less than the value suggested here, increase it. However, do not decrease if it is higher.
Add the following entries to the default FIT file, IBMLAN\RPL\FITS\DFBB20US.FIT. These entries map DB2 CAE log&trace, INI, and data output files to specific directories on the WorkSpace On-Demand Server.
Note: The IBM WorkSpace On-Demand workstation name replaces DEFAULT automatically.
RPLBOOTSERVER represents your server name.
After you create a WorkSpace On-Demand 2.0 client, update the EPW.INI and the VPD.INI files to reflect the correct paths, as defined in the DB2 application. Use an INI file maintenance tool to make these changes or a REXX program (or a similar program) that calls system APIs.
Update the following INI file settings.
INI file | Updates |
---|---|
EPW.INI |
|
VPD.INI |
|
NOTES:
Update INI files cautiously. If the modification of INI files is done incorrectly, the execution of the application might run incorrectly.
The VPD.INI file must be edited for every workstation that will run eNetwork Communications Server for OS Access Feature or DB2.
To create the DB2 folder on the client desktop:
To start the services, at a command prompt, type:
net start RPL
