INSTALL_TSAMP = NO

6. To start the deployment, issue the db2setup command with option -rfollowed with the absolute location of the response file:

# ./db2setup -r /tmp/db2rsp/db2ese.rsp

By default, a log file /tmp/db2setup.log is generated. Using option -l, you can specify a different path for the log file.

Deploying DB2 server with application

We can deploy the DB2 server and application with only one step.

On UNIX and Linux, DB2 installation image can be embedded into an application installation image. This means that you can use a single program to install both DB2 server and application to simplify the deployment. This method uses a response file and requires the INTERACTIVE keyword in the response file to be set to MACHINE. That enables the application which performs the deployment to receive the progress reported by the DB2 installer.

There is a sample program named InstallTester included in the DB2 installation image that demonstrates how to embed a response file based DB2 installation into an application. The sample program is written in both C and Java language.
