| Prepare your operating system |
|

| Make sure you have installed your database management system. | Consult your database documentation for information about installing and administering your database management system. |
Your database management system is installed. IBM Business Process Manager embeds the DB2 Express database. If you want to use DB2 Express as your database, you can select it as a feature from the installer and it is installed and configured automatically. The user must have administrative privileges (root or Administrator) to install DB2 Express. Note: If
you already have a version of DB2 installed and you want to install
DB2 Express, you must uninstall DB2 before running the IBM Business Process Manager installer.
If the installer detects a version of DB2 installed and you have selected
to install DB2 Express from the installer, you will receive a warning
message and will not be able to install DB2 Express.
 Important: If you are installing DB2 Express
as a root user, you must ensure that all kernel requirements are met
before the DB2 Express installation begins. See Kernel parameter requirements ( Linux ) for
a list of the kernel requirements. You can locate the current values
by parsing the output of the ipcs -l command.Important: You will not be able to properly install and use
DB2 Express if the password that is specified does not meet operating
system or company restrictions, because an operating system user is
created on install.
