Start the DB2 Setup wizard to define
your installation preferences and to install IBM® Data Studio components.
Before you begin
Before you start the
DB2 Setup wizard:
- Ensure that the computer where you are installing IBM Data Studio meets
the installation, memory, disk, and user privilege requirements. For
details, see Installation requirements in the IBM Data Studio Information
Center.
- Ensure that the computer where you are installing IBM Data Studio has
an internet connection. If an internet connection is not possible,
you must download this tool to the computer.
- You must have a local Administrator user account with the recommended
user rights to perform the installation.
Note: If a non-Administrator
user account is going to do the product installation, then the VS2010 runtime library must be installed before
attempting to install a DB2® database
product. The VS2010 runtime library is needed
on the operating system before the DB2 database
product can be installed. The VS2010 runtime
library is available from the Microsoft runtime
library download website. There are two choices: choose vcredist_x86.exe for
32-bit systems or vcredist_x64.exe for 64-bit
systems.
- You should close all programs so that the installation program
can update any files on the computer without requiring a reboot.
- For installations from a virtual drive, you must map the network
drive to a Windows drive
letter. The DB2 Setup wizard does not support
installation from a virtual drive or an unmapped network drive (such
as \\hostname\sharename in Windows Explorer).
About this task
If you downloaded IBM Data Studio,
perform the Installing IBM Data
Studio full client with the Installation Manager Install wizard task
in the IBM Data Studio Information
Center.
Restrictions
- The DB2 Setup wizard fields do not accept
non-English characters.
- If you enable extended security on Windows, users must belong to the DB2ADMNS
or DB2USERS group to run local DB2 commands
and applications because of an extra security feature (User Access
Control) that limits the privileges that local administrators have
by default. If users do not belong to one of these groups, they will
not have read access to local DB2 configuration
or application data.
Procedure
To install the IBM Data Studio using
the DB2 Setup wizard:
- Log on to the system with the local Administrator account
that you have defined for the DB2 installation.
- If you have the DB2 database
product DVD, insert it into the drive. If enabled, the autorun feature
automatically starts the DB2 Setup Launchpad.
If the autorun does not work, use Windows Explorer
to browse the DB2 database product
DVD and double-click the setup icon to start the DB2
Setup Launchpad.
- If you downloaded the DB2 database
product from Passport Advantage®, run the executable file to extract the DB2 database product installation files. Use Windows Explorer to browse the DB2 installation files and double-click
the setup icon to start the DB2 Setup
Launchpad.
- From the DB2 Setup launchpad, you
can view installation prerequisites and the release notes, or you
can proceed directly to the installation. You might want to review
the installation prerequisites and release notes for late-breaking
information.
- Click Install Data Studio Components and
the Install Data Studio Components window displays
the products available for installation.
- To install the IBM Data Studio
client and
the IBM Data Studio web console,
click Install. The IBM Installation
Manager is called and downloads the IBM Data Studio components.
- Follow the installation wizard to install
the IBM Data Studio components.
