Adding the user to the Db2 instance owner group

After you install Db2 on the library server, you can configure the user and instance group.

After installing Db2® on the library server:
  1. Add the user that owns the Content Manager OnDemand instance to the Db2 instance owner's group.

    For example, if the Db2 instance owner's group is db2iadm1 and the Content Manager OnDemand instance owner is root, specified by the SRVR_INSTANCE_OWNER parameter in the ARS.INI file, add the root user to the db2iadm1 group.

  2. Create links for the Db2 files. See the instructions in IBM® Db2 Universal Database Quick Beginnings for Db2 Servers to create links to the Db2 files.
  3. Optionally create a table space for the Content Manager OnDemand system tables. If you plan to store the system tables in their own table space, specify the name of the table space on the ARS_DB_TABLESPACE parameter in the ARS.CFG file.
  4. Verify the value of the DB2INSTANCE parameter in the ARS.CFG file. The value of the DB2INSTANCE parameter is case-sensitive. This value must specify the name of the Db2 instance that you created for Content Manager OnDemand. The default value is archive.
