    1. Change the DB2 port in the sandbox.cfg file from non-SSL port to SSL port. Run the setup files.
    2. Replace all the 5 DB2 pool URLs in the jdbc.properties file with the new URL as specified below.
      Default URL: jdbc:db2://<db2 host value>:<db2 port value>/<db2 schema value>
      New URL: jdbc:db2://<db2 host value>:<db2 ssl port value >/<db2 schema value >:sslConnection=true;sslTrustStoreLocation=<location of db2 jks filestore>;sslTrustStorePassword=password;
  4. Run ./run.sh for Linux/Unix and startwindowsservice.cmd for Windows to start Sterling B2B Integrator.
