Extracting the JDBC Drivers

Reference to Checklist:This section corresponds to step 17.
Note

If you are not using DB2 as your database for Nways Manager, but are using Tivoli NetView IT Director Edition Version 5.1 as your platform, then skip to "Editing the Seed File".

Prior to creating a DB2 Database, the Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) drivers must be unzipped into the Nways Manager java\websvr\code directory (folder). Follow these steps:

  1. Obtain an unzip program (You can use the PkZip that you received with the DB2 FixPak).

  2. Extract db2java.zip file from the Sqllib\java\ directory into the Nways\java\websvr\code directory.

Creating a DB2 Database for JPM and Starting Data Collection

Reference to Checklist:This section corresponds to step 18.
Important

Note:If you chose not to have DB2 started automatically when the machine is started, then you will have to issue the db2start command from the MS-DOS command prompt before creating a database.

After making sure that the JDBC drivers are installed and DB2 is started, follow these steps to create a database:

  1. Select Start -> Programs -> MS-DOS prompt.

  2. Change the directory to nways\bin.

  3. Run the command db2cmd CreateDatabase.bat -create.

  4. Depending on your platform:

  5. Select Tools -> IBM Nways Java -> Performance Configuration.

  6. Click on the Database tab.

    If you are using HP OpenView Network Node Manager on Windows NT, then you may be asked to enter your username and password. If so, enter the administrative password that you created at the beginning of this process.

  7. Click Start Collection.
