Configure the DB2 Text Search server

You must configure the DB2® Text Search server to enable the search technology the DB2 Text Search component offers.

You can configure the DB2 Text Search instance services using this panel. Alternatively, you can manually configure the server after installation. For details about manually configuring the DB2 Text Search instance services at a later time, see http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.ts.doc/doc/t0052968.html

The DB2 Text Search instance services requires a Service name and a Port number.

Note:
The Service name field is not present for non-root installations.

If you want to configure DB2 Text Search at this time, click Configure and type your own values in the appropriate fields.

The DB2 Setup wizard generates a default value for the Service name, which is the name that is associated with the port number.

The DB2 Setup wizard also generates a default value for the Port number, which designates the particular TCP/IP port on which the DB2 Text Search instance services listens for requests from IBM® Data Server clients.

Note:
  • For root installations, the Port number and Service name values are reserved in the services file on this computer.
  • For non-root installations, the DB2 Setup wizard cannot reserve the Port number value in the services file. After your DB2 product is installed, the services file can be updated by a root user, either by manually editing the file or by running the db2rfe command. Details about the db2rfe command are available at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.qb.server.doc/doc/t0050570.html

It is recommended that you accept the default values for Service name and Port number unless they conflict with other services on your computer. If you need to change these values, choose values that will not conflict with existing entries in the services file. Both fields are mandatory and must be unique on the computer.

The Service name cannot exceed 14 characters.

The Port number value must be in the range 1024 to 65535.

The Port number must not be in use by another application.

To clear the values you have typed and restore the default values that are generated by the DB2 Setup wizard, click Restore default settings.

If the DB2 Setup wizard is unable to determine default Service name and Port number values, those fields will not have any values and the Restore default settings button is not shown.

If you want to configure DB2 Text Search at a later time, click Do not configure at this time.
