Full Install

Optim must be installed on each DB2^® subsystem in which it is to run.

You can install Optim on each subsystem by using the installation panel, or you can store the DSN subcommands and SQL generated by your first installation and execute the stored SQL in other subsystems as desired. (For information about storing the SQL, see Installation Dialog. For information about using the stored SQL, see Review SQL Statements and DSN Subcommands.)

Note: If you are using release of Optim™ earlier than v7.1, you must perform a full install to migrate to release 11.3. Sites running Optim release 7.1 or later can upgrade to release 11.3. See Upgrade to a New Release.

Select Option 1 from the main Install menu to perform a full install.

When you select this option, the Full Installation menu is displayed to prompt you for the necessary information.

 DB2 Subsys for Install ===> 
 DB2 Release            ===>            (n.n.n)
 Secondary SQLID        ===>
 Load Library DSN       ===> 'OPTUSR.RELnnn.SFOPLLIB'
 Install Library DSN    ===> 'OPTUSR.RELnnn.SFOPINST'

The Full Installation menu lists the steps required to install Optim. By pressing ENTER each time this panel is displayed, you can proceed through the installation to execute the steps in the order in which they are listed. Using this method, you can suspend the installation process and restart it later without having to repeat steps. The installation process restarts at the point where you suspended it, as long as you use the TSO User ID and the DB2 subsystem used previously.

When you are installing Optim for the first time, you must execute the Temporary Bind step first. Then proceed with steps 2, 3 and 4 to create the storage group and specify the database and table space for the Optim Directory. Steps 5 and 6 create the Directory tables and indexes that contain the object definitions used by Optim. You must execute Step 7, the Final Bind, prior to performing the remaining steps. Step 8, Enable Optim for Execution, must be performed before you can use Optim. Step 9 loads the sample data and ODM Optim Connect. It is recommended that you review steps 10 and 12 to customize Optim for your site.

Note: If you are installing into multiple subsystems and sharing the product libraries, steps 8, 10, and 12 need be performed only once.

In addition to the list of steps, you are prompted for:

DB2 Subsys for Install: DB2 subsystem into which Optim is installed.
DB2 Release: Release of DB2 used by Optim.
Secondary SQLID: Optional name of a secondary SQLID to be used for the install process. If blank, your primary SQLID will be used.
Load Library DSN: Fully qualified name of the load library (SFOPLLIB).
Install Library DSN: Fully qualified name of the installation library (SFOPINST).

The values entered on the Install main menu are displayed initially and can be modified from this panel.

The following discussion describes each step of the install process in the order in which they are presented on the Full Installation menu.
