For more details about the versions and fix packs of the operating systems and database servers, see the link to the IBM DB2 Content Manager system requirements in the Related information section.

Because the operating systems that are listed in the previous table are not supported by IBM Records Manager, you must install a DB2 or Oracle client on a Windows computer and then run the IBM Records Manager database installation program from the Windows computer to install or upgrade the IBM Records Manager database on the remote library server computer.

For DB2 databases:

  1. Before you install or upgrade the IBM Records Manager database, catalog the instance of the remote library server database as a DB2 node and catalog the library server database.
  2. When you run the IBM Records Manager database installation program, specify the node and database alias of the remote library server database. The IBM Records Manager database instance owner and schema owner must be users on the remote library server computer.


For Oracle databases:
  1. Before you install or upgrade the IBM Records Manager database, create a TNS alias of the remote library server database on the Windows computer.
  2. When you run the IBM Records Manager database installation program, specify the TNS alias of the remote library server database. The IBM Records Manager database instance owner and schema owner must be users on the remote library server computer.
