The packages for DB2 Express-C can be downloaded from: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/im/db2express/ and click on the link "Download" button and then click on "DB2 Express-C for Linux 64-bit". New users can either get an IBM ID or click on the "Proceed without an IBM ID". User is provided with a registration form which needs to be completed in order to proceed further to download the DB2 Express-C packages. After accepting the license agreement, user can download the DB2 Express-C package (.tar.gz file).
There are 2 options for making the DB2 Express-C package accessible to the Trove disk-image building process:
-
place the package in a private repository and set the environment variable DATASTORE_PKG_LOCATION with the url to this private repository. e.g. export DATASTORE_PKG_LOCATION="http://www.foo.com/db2/v11.1_linuxx64_expc.tar.gz"
-
download the package and place it in any directory on the local filesystem that the trovestack script can access. Set the environment variable DATASTORE_PKG_LOCATION with the full path to the downloaded package. e.g. export DATASTORE_PKG_LOCATION="/home/stack/db2/v11.1_linuxx64_expc.tar.gz"
The environment variables used are as follows:
DATASTORE_PKG_LOCATION - is the place where user stores the DB2 Express-C package after registration. This can either be a url to a private repository or the full path to the downloaded package on a local filesystem. DATASTORE_DOWNLOAD_OPTS - defines any wget options user wants to specify like user,password, etc. This is an optional variable and is needed only if specifying a private repository to download the packages from. e.g. export DATASTORE_DOWNLOAD_OPTS="--user=foo --password='secret'"
