Installing IBM Spectrum Control in a single-server environment

Installation considerations

Before you begin the installation of IBM Spectrum Control, ensure that Db2® is installed. To learn how to install Db2, see Installing Db2. If you install Db2 on a Windows server, reboot the system before you install IBM Spectrum Control.

When you install IBM Spectrum Control, a database that is called TPCDB is created. In this repository, the IBM Spectrum Control database schema is created, which describes the structure of the database repository. If you already have the TPCDB database on your system, IBM Spectrum Control assigns a new default database repository name with a number as a suffix. For example, TPCDB1.

If the operating system on which you are installing IBM Spectrum Control is sensitive to spaces in directory paths, change the default installation location to not include spaces, for example, C:\apps\IBM\SC .
