      <Paragraph>This chapter describes in highlights how to prepare the DB2
		software for a ERP LN installation. To install the DB2 software, use the DB2
		installation Manuals.</Paragraph>
   </AimSection>
   <GeneralSection>
      <SectionTitle>Overview of the installation process</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>DB2 installations are version-dependant and system-dependent.
		Ensure you check your DB2 documentation for the DB2 version you want to
		install.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>On the DB2 UDB medium, the autorun feature automatically starts
		the set-up program. This program determines the system language and launches
		the setup program for it.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The user interface for the db2setup script is a series of
		windows in which you are asked to enter information. Respond to the
		installation prompts. Online Help is available to walk you through the
		installation steps. To start the online Help, click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Help</GUIRef>. To
		end the installation, click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Cancel</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
      <Note>
         <SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>If a DB2 product is already installed on the workstation, you
		  must install the product on the same drive and in the same
		  directory.</Paragraph>
      </Note>
      <GeneralSection>
         <SectionTitle>DB2 setup creates user name for installation</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>During the installation of DB2, you must provide a user name
		  and password that the administration server can use to log on to the system and
		  start itself as a service.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>By default, the set-up program fills the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">User Name</GUIRef>, <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Password</GUIRef>, and <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Confirm Password</GUIRef> fields with db2admin. You can accept these default values or provide
		  your own. If you provide your own user name, ensure it is eight characters or
		  less in length and complies with DB2’s naming rules. The user name will be
		  removed from the system when the installation is complete, unless the
		  administration server uses the user name.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>If the user name does not exist, the set-up program creates
		  the user name specified for the administration server. The set-up program will
		  do the following:</Paragraph>
         <List>
            <ListItem>Verify if the user name is a member of the administrators
			 group.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Verify if the password is valid.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Check if the user name used to install DB2 has the Act as
			 Part of the Operating System advanced user right.</ListItem>
         </List>
         <Note>
            <SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
            <Paragraph>If you use the default user name <GUIRef href="" role="manual">db2admin</GUIRef>,
			 and did not change the default password for this user name, you must change
			 this password immediately after the installation.</Paragraph>

         <Paragraph>You can download the latest DB2 FixPak directly from DB2’s
		  Service and Support Web page. Alternatively, order the FixPak directly from IBM
		  support.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>To install a DB2 FixPak, first verify all software
		  requirements for this FixPak have been met. In addition, verify your current
		  DB2 installed version is suitable for the Infor ERP software. Follow the
		  instructions in the Fixpak.readme file, which is available with the FixPak for
		  platform-specific FixPak install procedure.</Paragraph>

         <SectionTitle>Specific ERP LN installation note</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>During the installation of ERP LN, the installation wizard
		  presents several dialog boxes of Database Device Locations and Sizes with
		  Database Data Files configuration. This represents the tablespace which will
		  contain the actual data.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>Specify the Directory and File Names for the following
		  files:</Paragraph>
         <List>
            <ListItem>Database Data Files.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Database Index Files.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Database Temporary Files.</ListItem>
         </List>
         <Paragraph>There are two options to store your data on the file
		  system:</Paragraph>
         <ProcedureList>
            <ListItem>
               <GUIRef href="" role="manual">SMS tablespace</GUIRef>: Automatically increases in
			 size in case more data must be stored.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>
               <GUIRef href="" role="manual">DMS tablespace</GUIRef>: Size is fixed; the database
			 administrator needs to increase the size in case more space is needed. DMS
			 offers the highest performance.</ListItem>
         </ProcedureList>
         <Paragraph>For more information, refer to the online help of the
		  installation wizard.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>If all the required DB2 software is installed and configured,
		  you can start the Staging Wizard. For more information, refer to the Overall
		  installation Guide for Infor ERP LN Products (U9498 US).</Paragraph>
