Renaming .KDB and .RDB files on System B

Use this procedure to rename .KDB and .RDB files on System B.

Because the *SYSTEM certificate store does not exist on System B, the administrator of the corporate network needs to rename the systemb.kdb and systemb.RDB files to DEFAULT.KDB and DEFAULT.RDB, using these transferred files as the *SYSTEM certificate store on System B.

  1. In System i® Navigator, expand System B > File Systems > Integrated File System > Qibm > UserData > ICSS > Cert > Server, and verify that the files systemb.kdb and systemb.RDB are listed in this directory.
  2. On a command line, type wrklnk ('/qibm/userdata/icss/cert/server').
  3. On the Work with Link Objects page, select 7 (Rename) to rename the systemb.kdb file. Press Enter.
  4. On the Rename Object page, enter DEFAULT.KDB in the New Object field. Press Enter.
  5. Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 to rename the systemb.RDB file to DEFAULT.RDB.
  6. Verify that these files have been changed by refreshing System i Navigator and expanding System B > File Systems > Integrated File System > Qibm > UserData > ICSS > Cert > Server. The DEFAULT.KDB and DEFAULT.RDB files must be listed in the directory.
