Be sure to read Installation Process and Major Natural Features before you start the installation procedure.

The installation procedure comprises the following:

NDZ Server Installation Steps

This section describes the installation steps that apply to all Natural environments where Natural for Db2 for zIIP can be installed.

Step 1: Create Trusted Context

(Job I010 Step 9610)

Create the Trusted context object in a Db2 server using the NDZ user to establish a trusted connection.

Step 2: Copy and Extract the TAR file

(Job I020 Step 9610 + 9615 + 9620)

Extract the TAR file into the Unix System Services directory (NDZ home directory)

Step 3: Create the Db2 properties file

(Job I022 Step 9615)

Create the Db2 properties file in the NDZ configuration directory (NDZ home directory/etc/db2.properties) with the specific Db2 connection and configuration properties.

OR:

  1. Create the NDZ home directory/etc/db2.properties file from the sample NDZ home directory/etc/db2.properties.sample file.

  2. Set the variables according to the instructions located in the sample file.

Step 4: Create the NDZ properties file

(Job I022 Step 9620)

Create the NDZ properties file in the NDZ configuration directory (NDZ home directory/etc/ndz.properties) with the parameters for the NDZ Server.

OR:

  1. Create the NDZ home directory/etc/ndz.properties file from the sample NDZ home directory/etc/ndz.properties.sample file.

  2. Set the variables according to the instructions located in the sample file.

Step 5: Update Static Preparation Shell Script

(Job I022 Step 9625)

Update the shell script responsible for setting the Db2, Java, and NDZ home path variables (NDZ home directory/bin/setenv.sh) for the NDZ Server.

OR:

Create the NDZ home directory/bin/setenv.sh file from the sample NDZ home directory/bin/setenv.sh.sample file. Update the Db2, Java, and NDZ home path variables in the setenv.sh file.

Step 6: Link the NDZ Nucleus

(Job I060 Step 9620)

Link the NDZ nucleus with NDZvrs.LOAD(NDZNUC), MLCvrs.LOAD(LICMAIN) and MLCvrs.LOAD(LICCHECK).

Step 7: Create NDZ started task procedure(s)

(Job I200 Step 9610)

Create procedure(s) for NDZ started task(s) (or daemons) using the following template: 

//NAME   PROC                                                         
//*                                                                     
//NDZ11    EXEC  PGM=NDZNUC11,REGION=0M,TIME=NOLIMIT,
//  PARM=('PATH=NDZ INSTALLATION PATH','PORT=PORT NUMBER TO CONNECT')                                  
//*--------------------------------------------------------------------*
//LICNDZ   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=LICENSE DATASET(ndzlic)           
//STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=LOAD DATASET
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=X                                                  
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=X                                                  
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=X                                                  
//STDOUT   DD SYSOUT=X                                                  
//STDERR   DD SYSOUT=X

Substitute the highlighted parts using the following instructions:

  • NAME – The name of the started task.

  • NDZ INSTALLATION PATH – The path to the NDZ home directory.

  • PORT NUMBER TO CONNECT – The port number.

  • LICENSE DATASET – The dataset which contains the license file.

  • LOAD DATASET – The APF authorized dataset in which the NDZ nucleus is located.

Installation Steps Specific to Batch

(Job I060 Step 9625)

  1. Link the batch nucleus with the NDZ Support.

  2. Add the following INCLUDE statements and corresponding DD statements to the link instructions for the linkage editor:

    INCLUDE NDBLIB(NDBNDZ) NDB support for NDZ
    CHANGE DSNHLI(DB2HLI)
    INCLUDE DB2LIB(DSNALI)    		 Db2 Interface module
