If you are using IBM WebSphere® Application Server and will be using the server setup application on a supported operating system other than z/OS®, you can skip this task because the server setup application can create and configure the databases for you.
DB2 must already be installed and running. Also, make sure that you know the location of the SQL scripts that are included with the installation media (typically, path to installation media\ db_scripts\DB2). Finally, ensure that you also know the installation directory for DB2 (typically C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB for Windows, opt/ibm/DB2/V10.1 for Linux and /opt/IBM/db2/V10.1 for AIX®.
You can optionally use batch scripts to simplify this process. See Creating and populating database tables for assets in DB2 with batch files.
To configure DB2 and create the database tables:
If you are installing to a WebSphere Application Server cluster and you need to install Rational Team Concert™, you will also have to create a single application server instance for Rational Team Concert.
Then, use the server setup application to configure WebSphere Application Server to connect to your databases. If you have deployed the server setup application to your server or cluster, see Deploying and configuring application files by using the server setup application.
Configure Apache Tomcat and deploy the Rational Asset Manager application files. See Deploying the Rational Asset Manager server applications on Tomcat 6 or 7.
