5. After placing the three files under their own directories, we can create a
package based on this directory structure and redistribute it to the target
machine where we want the application to be deployed. Example4-13 shows
how a package file, app_installer.tar.gz, is created using the commands tar
and gzip.
Example 4-13 Generate a gz package from install_image directory
db2app@mensa:~/app_install/install_image> tar -cvf - *|gzip -c >
../app_installer.tar.gz
app_install
bin/
bin/itso_cliapp
odbcdrv/
odbcdrv/odbc_cli.tar.gz
Deploying the application package to the target system
On the target system, you have to configure the IBM Data Server Driver for
ODBC and CLI to prepare the system for the application. For the driver
configuration, refer to 4.1.2, “IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC, CLI, and .NET,
and IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI” on page143 for platform specific
steps.
The db2cli.ini and other system environment variables may also require
configuration based on the database connection used in the application. You can
manually configure the target system or automate these configurations with a
deployment script.
