Deploying IBM Text Search for Db2 for z/OS as Docker images
You can deploy Docker images to install IBM Text Search for Db2 for z/OS servers.
Before you begin
Ensure that your systems meet the requirements. For more information, see System requirements for enabling text search support and System requirements for installing a text search server.
Docker Engine must be installed on the server where you plan to deploy the text search server for IBM Text Search for Db2 for z/OS.
About this task
You can install a text search server with the Docker images on the following platforms (64-bit
only):
- SLES 12.4
- Redhat 7.4
- zLinux Redhat 7.6
- Windows 10
Tip: Ensure that the text search server automatically starts each time that the
operating system reboots by installing the text search server as a service. In service mode, the
silent installation includes the scripts for starting and stopping the text search server as part of
the operating system's start up and shutdown processes. To install a text search server as a
service, the user ID installing the product must be a root user on the Linux® or Linux on IBM Z® server, or an administrator on the Windows server. If a user ID without the correct access installs a text
search server, you can use the start and stop scripts each time that you want to start or stop the
server.
