Specify the location of the DB2 Information Center

The DB2 Information Center contains documentation for DB2® products. You must specify how this DB2 product will access the DB2 Information Center. The DB2 Information Center can be accessed in a variety of ways:

From this computer
If the DB2 Information Center is already installed on your computer, On this computer (local) is displayed, and is selected by default. Choose this option if you want to use the locally installed DB2 Information Center.

If you want to access the DB2 Information Center locally, install the DB2 Information Center on this computer from the DB2 Information Center DVD.

Note:
Selecting this option will not automatically install the DB2 Information Center after the current installation process ends. You must initiate the installation of the DB2 Information Center by running the setup from the DB2 Information Center DVD.
From the IBM Web site
If you have an internet connection, and you want to access the most up-to-date DB2 information, select On the IBM Web site. This is the default selection if the DB2 Information Center is not already installed locally on your computer. IBM® updates the DB2 Information Center on the IBM Web site to reflect the most recently released version of documentation for DB2 products.
From an intranet server
If your computer is connected to a network, and the DB2 Information Center is installed on a computer located elsewhere in your organization, select On the following intranet server to access your intranet copy of the DB2 Information Center. Choosing this option eliminates the need to maintain a local installation of the DB2 Information Center. It also allows administrators to control the level of DB2 documentation that users are viewing.

DB2 documentation is also available in PDF format on a separate PDF documentation installation disc.
