Installing and configuring Db2 Text Search with a response file

You can install and configure Db2 Text Search as a part of custom silent installation of your Db2 database product. This type of installations uses the setup or db2setup command with a response file.

About this task

Perform a custom installation of your Db2 database product to install Db2 Text Search. You must add a number of keywords to your response file to have Db2 Text Search installed and configured.

Procedure

To perform a custom installation:

  1. Add the following line to the response file that you are using to install your Db2 database product:
    	COMP = TEXT_SEARCH
  2. To configure Db2 Text Search during the installation, add the following lines to the response file:
    • For root installations only:
      	db2inst_name.TEXT_SEARCH_HTTP_SERVICE_NAME = db2j_db2inst_name
      where db2inst_name is the name of the Db2 instance and db2j_db2inst_name is the service name.
    • For root installations and non-root installations:
      db2inst_name.TEXT_SEARCH_HTTP_PORT_NUMBER = port-number

      If you provide a value for the TEXT_SEARCH_HTTP_SERVICE_NAME keyword for a non-root installation, an error will be returned.

    You can specify any valid service name and port number that are not in use. If you do not provide any values, default values are used for configuration if the response file keyword db2inst_name.CONFIGURE_TEXT_SEARCH is set to YES.

  3. Install the Db2 database product using the instructions for your platform:
