Installing and configuring the IBM Db2 AI for z/OS solution

Getting IBM Db2 AI for z/OS up and running involves a sequence of tasks that might be best performed by people in different roles. Close collaboration and staying on track are key to the success of completing these tasks. Consider creating a high level action plan or using this roadmap to manage, coordinate, and track all major planning, installation, and configuration activities.

Before you begin

Review the types of user IDs required to install and configure the solution, the hardware and software requirements, and the planning system capacity information:

Procedure

Complete the tasks in the following roadmap to install and configure Db2ZAI:
  Step Task and instructions Description
1 Installing the IBM Db2 AI for z/OS FMID SMP/E installation process.
2 Assigning the Db2ZAI network ports  
3 Creating the Db2ZAI home directory The Db2ZAI Home directory contains the configuration and log files.
4 Allocating system resources for the Db2ZAI started task ID  
5 Creating the Db2ZAI metadata catalog and granting privileges to the Db2ZAI metadata scheduler ID The Db2 for z/OS metadata catalog contains information about the target Db2 subsystems. You can grant privileges to the metadata scheduler ID and end users that require access to the Db2ZAI user interface.
6 Configuring a keyring-based keystore for Db2ZAI SSL communications and for user authorization Describes how the RACF keyring is configured for Db2ZAI.
7 Enabling PassTicket support for Db2ZAI Describes how RACF PassTicket support is enabled for Db2ZAI.
8 (Optional) Defining RACF profiles for Db2ZAI An optional task to control who can access the Db2ZAI user interface.
9 (Optional) Using an MFA-enabled user ID with Db2ZAI An optional task to control who can access the Db2ZAI user interface.
10 Configuring IBM Db2 AI for z/OS  
11 Starting Db2ZAI  
12 Creating a Db2ZAI target catalog and granting privileges to the IDs that require access to the Db2ZAI target catalog The target catalog is needed in order to create a connection. Also shows how to grant required privileges to the IDs that need access to the Db2ZAI objects.
13 Creating a target connection Describes how connections are created to the target Db2 for z/OS subsystems.
14 Authorizing access to the Db2ZAI user interface and features for target connections Shows how to grant users the necessary privileges to use the Db2ZAI functions.
15 Configuring the SMTP server Shows how to configure Db2ZAI to send email alerts via a specified SMTP (email) server.
16 (Optional) Using imported data connection configuration Shows how to use imported data connections to run System assessment and Performance insights functions on-not connected target Db2 subsystems.
