Configure IBM Control Center to use DB2 databases on Linux, UNIX, and Windows operating systems

To configure IBM® Control Center to use DB2® databases on Linux, UNIX, and Windows operating systems, you need to specify database connection details.

Specify database connection details for the two different IBM Control Center databases using one of the following methods:

On Windows operating systems - Either as part of the installation or later when configCC is run, you can specify the database connection details for the two IBM Control Center databases.
On Linux and UNIX operating systems - After you install IBM Control Center, when you run configCC, you can specify the database details for the two IBM Control Center databases.

Important: Ensure you have the correct database version and supported JDBC drive files. For more information, see Detailed System Requirements.

Provide the following database connection information when you are configuring IBM Control Center to use DB2 databases:

DB connection information	Description	More information
Database Host Name
Database port	The port number on which the database server listens	Ensure that the database server is listening on this database port. From the server where you are installing IBM Control Center, try establishing a “telnet” connection to the database host and port using the following command: `telnet <<dbhost>> <<dbPort>>`
Database User ID
Database password for the DB User
Database Name
JDBC Drivers	`db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cu.jar` or `db2jcc4.jar and db2jcc_license_cu.jar`	Copy these drivers to the server where IBM Control Center will be installed. These files are typically in<<`DB2 installation location`>>/java folder.
