Installing a stand-alone Db2 Text Search server

You can install a stand-alone Db2 Text Search server silently. The silent installation option takes input values from a response file. You can install one or more servers for a stand-alone setup. The stand-alone text search server is also known as ECM Text Search server.

Procedure

To install a stand-alone text search server:

Create an empty installation directory.
- For example, on Linux® or UNIX systems, create the following directory:
```
 /opt/ibm/ECMTextSearch
```
- For example, on Windows systems, create the following directory:
```
C:\Program Files\IBM\ECMTextSearch 
```
This directory is known as <ECMTS_HOME>.
Download the Db2 Accessories Suite for your platform from the IBM® DB2® Accessories Suite for Linux, UNIX, and Windows website. Extract it to a temporary directory.
Log in as user with the required authorities or permissions.
- On Linux and UNIX systems, you need read, write, and execute permission for the installation directory.
- On Windows systems, you need administrator authority
Review the license and edit the ecmts_response.txt file to customize your settings.
Use the setup file ecmts21_install_<platform>.exe to install the stand-alone Text Search server. Start the installation by issuing the following command:
```
./<ecmts_setup_file_name> -i silent -f ecmts_response.txt
```
For example, on Windows systems, issue the following command:
```
ecmts21_install_win32.exe -i silent -f ecmts_response.txt
```
Verify that the installation was successful.
Check the installation log file and the folders that were created in the <ECMTS_HOME> directory. You should see at least bin, lib, config and resource folders.
Start the server by running the startup script from the <ECMTS_HOME> directory.
- On Linux and UNIX platforms:
```
bin/startup.sh
```
- On Windows platforms:
```
bin\startup 
```
