Creating a repository from Control Center (IBM DB2)

Prerequisites

•	The runtime repository is configured in the Application Domain Editor. See Creating and configuring an application domain.

•	The management gateway and the IBM DB2 database instance for the repository are installed on different hosts.

During development, you can use a virtual environment to fulfill the separate host requirement. Install one software on the local computer and the other one in the virtual environment.

•	A DB2 client or server is available on the host where the management gateway is installed. On Windows, a DB2 runtime client can be installed by the OpenText StreamServe setup. For UNIX, you must manually install a DB2 client or server.

•	AUTHENTICATION SERVER is configured for the IBM DB2 instance. See OpenText StreamServe IBM DB2 Database Guidelines.

•	The login details for the database administration user are available. By default, the database administration user that creates a schema (that is, an OpenText StreamServe repository) is the schema owner of that schema.

Post requisites

•	Do a sanity check to make sure the repository was created according to your configurations.

•	To effectuate prepared database parameters and do a basic tuning of the runtime repository, you must restart the IBM DB2 instance. For more information, see OpenText StreamServe IBM DB2 Database Guidelines.
