DB2® Text Search is
an optionally installable component whose installation and configuration
are fully integrated with the installation of all DB2 database server products.
You can have the DB2 installer
automatically install and configure DB2 Text Search.
The steps that you must take are platform dependent. Figure 1 describes the installation
and configuration process on Windows operating
systems, and Figure 2 describes
the process on Linux and UNIX operating systems.
Figure 1. Installation and
configuration on Windows platforms
On Windows, choose
the installation type, decide whether to configure, and choose the
configuration method.
Figure 2. Installation and configuration on Linux and UNIX platforms
On Linux and UNIX, choose the installation method and type,
decide whether to configure, and choose the configuration method.
If you run
db2setup as a non-root user, have your
system administrator (who has SYSADM authority) run the
DB2RFE command
afterwards to reserve the port number that you want in the services
file.
