Considerations for installing DB2 with IBM Integration Designer
Before you install IBM Integration Designer with DB2, review the information in this topic.
For information about required user accounts for
installing DB2 on Windows, refer to Required user accounts for installation of DB2 server
products (Windows).
Important: If you are
installing IBM® Integration Designer as
a non-administrative or non-root user, you must have the DB2 server
installed before you begin the installation. Remember the database
details so that you can enter them during the installation.
To install as a non-administrative user, you have the following
choices:
- Before installing the product, install a DB2 server separately. For information about installing DB2 as a non-administrative or non-root user, see Non-root installation overview (Linux and UNIX).
- Log on as an administrator and use the product installer to install
the DB2 server alone. Grant special permission to
the non-administrative user. The non-administrative
user must be part of the DB2USERS group. This will allow the user
to read and write to the database. Then log on as the non-administrative
user and install the product using the installed DB2 server.
