Single-node environment

In Part 3, “Production environment” on page 161 we discussed how to install WebSphere Commerce V5.6 on a single-node runtime environment and create a test instance to verify the installation. Later we migrated an entire application from WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 to WebSphere Commerce V5.6.

Having a running single-node runtime environment is the starting point for moving to a multi-node, remote database runtime environment.

The following sections provides a high level overview of the steps that need to be carried out to install and configure a multi-node remote database runtime environment.

Installing and configuring the database node

In previous chapters we described how to install DB2 Universal Database V8.1 for the development environment. Most of those steps can be repeated to install the database on a remote node.

Create a Windows user for DB2

Create a Windows user with the same user_id, password and user rights that the one used in the single-node environment. To create this user follow these steps:

1.Click Start ->Settings ->Control Panel.

2.Double-clickAdministrative Tools.

3.Double-clickComputer Management.

4.In the tree on left of the new window, expand Local Users and Groups and click Users.

5.Right-click in the right-hand pane and select New User... from the menu.

6.Enter the user name used for your original production database.

7.Enter the corresponding password in the Password and Confirm Password fields.

8.Deselect User must change password at next logon.

9.Select User cannot change password and Password never expires. 10.Click Create.

11.Click Close.
