Installation Issue - Xmeta user

[sohasaid]

Hi,

We're trying to install IIS v9.1 on Linux Redhat. All DataStage components are on one machine (except client of course), abd a fresh WAS & DB2 are getting installed through IIS installation.

The installation creates successfully wasadmin & isadmin users through wizard. But while configuring DB2 users (db2inst1, db2fenc1, dasusr1), wizard creates only the group but fails to create them when choosing 'Create new user' option (not sure why).
As a work around, we created the user manually and choose the other option 'Existing user' so it moves to the next step.

The same approach we follow for 'xmeta' user at 'Repository Configuration' step, we created it manually and set its password manually as well. But it throws this error after providing 'xmeta' username & password:

Code: Select all

CDIIN2029E: Internal error: The ValidateUser tool was called incorrectly

The only difference between xmeta and the other DB2 users is the installation requests only the password for xmeta user while it does not for others.

Any thoughts about this issue.

Read the Planning, Installation and Configuration Guide again. The DB2 users must be created before the installation is performed. It's best practice to pre-create the WAS admin user, the IIS admin user and the DataStage admin user too, though this is not always possible (for example where the system uses LDAP authentication).

Thanks Ray.

Grant 777 permission on ValidateUsers tool has fixed the problem.
