Configuring the wire listener

You must configure the wire listener to communicate with the Db2® database server.

Before you begin

Install the following prerequisite software for the wire listener:
  • Java™ JRE Version 1.6 or later
  • The wire listener library (db2NoSQLWireListener.jar)
  • The Db2 NoSQL JSON library (nosqljson.jar)
  • The JDBC driver (db2jcc4.jar)

Procedure

To prepare the wire listener to accept requests, complete the following steps:

  1. Configure the Db2 database server and client to access the Db2 NoSQL JSON API.
    For more information, go to Enabling Db2 JSON.
  2. Assign the port number the wire listener listens to.
  3. Determine the Db2 database user who serves as proxy user to manage connections between the wire listener and the Db2 database.

What to do next

Start the Wire Listener.
