Your options for configuring DB2® Text Search depend
on whether you are performing the initial configuration or a reconfiguration
and which platform you are using.
Before you begin
Before reconfiguration of the DB2 Text Search,
stop the text search instance service, as outlined in Stopping the DB2 Text Search instance service.
For
partitioned instances you need to be on the coordinating member or
instance owning partition when using the configuration tool. This
is the instance host where the integrated text search server is initially
configured and is the lowest numbered partition server host.
Procedure
- Determine whether DB2 Text Search is
configured.
Run the configuration tool by issuing the
following command:
configTool printAll -configPath absolute-path-to-configuration-folder
In the output of the printAll option,
the authentication token is an empty string if DB2 Text Search is
not configured.
- Configure DB2 Text Search for
the first time.
On Linux and UNIX operating systems, use one
of the following methods to configure
DB2 Text Search:
- Rerun the silent installation as described in Installing and configuring DB2 Text Search with a response file.
- Rerun the GUI installation as described in Installing and configuring DB2 Text Search with the DB2 Setup Wizard .
- Use the configuration tool. Refer to Initial configuration of an integrated DB2 Text Search server. Note that using the configuration tool to perform
a manual configuration requires you to manually configure most of
the parameters, whereas using the installer requires you to configure
only two parameters.
- Use one of the following commands to
configure DB2 Text Search, depending
on the instance type and operation:
- For root installs, you can issue db2isetup command
in the GUI to configure existing DB2 instance
by selecting DB2 Text Search
when it is being configured. You also can issue the db2iupdt command
with -j option to configure integrated DB2 Text Search server. Note that when you create
an instance using the db2icrt command with -j option, DB2 Text Search is also configured
by default.
- For non-root installs, issue the db2isetup command
to configure the instance in the GUI, or issue the db2nrupdt or db2nrupgrade command
with the -j option.
On Windows operating
systems, use one of the following methods to configure
DB2 Text Search:
- Determine whether the Java™ developer
kit is from IBM.
The
DB2 Text Search internally
uses a Java developer kit whose
location is pointed by
JDK_PATH of
db2
get dbm cfg command and this Java developer
kit has to come from IBM.
To verify if the Java developer
kit is from IBM,
run the following command:
JDK_PATH/jre/bin/java -version
This
command will display the Java version
information and IBM should
display as part of string if the Java developer
kit is from IBM.
- Re-configure DB2 Text Search.
After you have configured DB2 Text Search,
you cannot use the GUI installer to re-configure it. You must make
any updates to the configuration manually.
On Linux and UNIX operating
systems, use one of the following methods to re-configure
DB2 Text Search:
- Rerun the silent installation as described in Installing and configuring DB2 Text Search with a response file.
- Use the Configuration Tool. Refer to Initial configuration of an integrated DB2 Text Search server.
- Use one of the following commands to re-configure DB2 Text Search, depending on the instance type
and operation:
- For root installs, you can issue db2isetup command
in the GUI to configure an existing DB2 instance
by selecting the DB2 Text Search
instance being configured. You also can issue the db2iupdt command
with -j option to configure integrated DB2 Text Search server.
- For non-root installs, issue the db2isetup command
to configure the instance in the GUI, or issue the db2nrupdt or db2nrupgrade command
with the -j option.
On Windows operating
systems, use one of the following methods to re-configure
DB2 Text Search:
- Rerun the silent installation as described in Installing and configuring DB2 Text Search with a response file.
- Use the Configuration Tool. Refer to Initial configuration of an integrated DB2 Text Search server.
- Run the db2iupdt, or db2iupgrade command,
specifying the -j option as shown to meet your
needs:
- -j "TEXT_SEARCH" attempts
to configure DB2 Text Search with
the default service name and a generated port value.
- -j "TEXT_SEARCH,[servicename]" reserves
the service name with an automatically generated port number or with
the same port number assigned to that service name if the service
name is already reserved in the services file.
- -j "TEXT_SEARCH,[port number]" reserves
the port with the default service name.
- -j "TEXT_SEARCH,[servicename],[port#]" reserves
the specified service name and port number.
Note: On Windows operating
systems, the PATH in the DB2 command window points to current-default-copy-install-path\db2tss\bin,
so to configure an instance that is not in the current DB2 copy, first switch to the appropriate DB2 command window for that copy.
