Db2 Text Search Server Administrator

The Text Search Server Administrator configures Db2 Text Search server options, starts and stops the text search instance services for integrated and stand-alone text server deployments and monitors text search server operation.

For integrated text search server setups this role is tied to the database instance owner.

The instance owner is determined differently on UNIX and Windows operating systems:

On UNIX operating systems, the instance owner user is the name and user ID of the instance specified for the db2icrt command.
On Windows operating systems, the instance owner is the user ID running the Db2 instance service.

Contrary to Db2 Version 9.7, the instance owner does not need to hold database privileges. For stand-alone text search server setups, the server administrator must have appropriate access to text search server executable, configuration and index files.
