Unable to install datastage

Post by iskapalli »

HI,

We are installing datastage paralle edition 8.5 on redhat linux.There is no DB2 in the target system.so we have given "true" option for metadata repository tier. It should create DB2 dabtase as it is built in.
we are getting below error.
com.ibm.is.install.exception.InstallException: CDIIN3234E: Could not connect to Database.jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/xmeta

Yes, it should install DB2 and create xmeta for you during the setup/install process.

Can your server resolve localhost OK?

Do you see DB2 installed files on the server?

Have you tried connecting to xmeta yourself?

I suggest that you:
1. Gather above information and contact support
2. Consider installing 8.7 instead of 8.5. If it's a new install then this is a good time to go with the newest release availble.

If you ping localhost from on the server, it should ping to 127.0.0.1. Did you run the install as the root user? My questions are a shot in the dark. The answer to why DB2 failed to install could be in one of the earlier install log files. You've revealed some symptoms from a log file but not the cause. I would suggest you open a new support case send them the log files.

Did you check if DB2 install is successful or not? From the message it looks like it is failing when connecting to DB2.

May be it gets installed and then reaches this point where it is trying to connect to DB2. When the connection to DB2 is refused, it roll back the install.

So once install is unsuccessful, you dont see DB2. Did you check other log files to see if DB2 was done or not.

com.ibm.is.install.exception.InstallException: CDIIN3234E: Could not connect to Database.jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/xmeta



My understanding is xmeta database has been created. Final it is deleteing.I think becuase of this it is unable to connect.

is it correct? if yes what could be reason?

I suggest you mask out passwords on forums.

According to the response file, you should find most DB2 files and directories created under this path:

db2.install.location=/opt/IBM/db2

Plus some files and directories under this path:

db2.instance.home.directory=/home/db2inst5

With default database name of xmeta.

I did not see any cause for failure on the log files you posted.

If db2inst5 is your DB2 instance owner, then you should be able to telnet and login with that ID and run DB2 commands, like the db2 command line.

I would still suggest sending all the install log files to support to find out what went wrong.

I have done one install and that was on Oracle. My current install is done by actual DS admin group.

I was just going through the logs and what I saw was - host name mentioned was actual machine name. So rather than localhost, the name of the server (which comes from command uname -n) is used.

May be you can give it a try with this if not tried already.

datastage internally it is executing create_xmeta_db.sh script.
inside the script it is executing below commands.

db2set DB2_INLIST_TO_NLJN=YES
db2set DB2_USE_ALTERNATE_PAGE_CLEANING=ON
db2set DB2_REDUCED_OPTIMIZATION=YES

it is unable to run above commands. it is showing error commond not found.

in my box(redhat linux box) IBM_db2cc81-8.1.0-0.i386.rpm software is missing. how to check it whether this software exists in my box.

Did you ensure that you updated your PATH with the DB2 install path? Can you make sure that db2set command works from your shell?
