<strong>Getting</strong> <strong>Started</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Studio</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>DB2</strong><br />

You should also check the system requirements on the web <strong>for</strong> any late-breaking<br />

changes to installation prerequisites:<br />

3. Ensure you have proper privileges. For a launchpad installation, which is what is<br />

shown in this chapter, you must be an administrative user, which means that you can<br />

write to the default common installation location.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

On Linux operating systems, this is the root or any user who is usingsudo to start<br />

Installation Manager.<br />

On Microsoft Windows XP operating systems, a user <strong>with</strong> write administrative<br />

privileges is any user who is a member of the Administrators group.<br />

On the Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems, this is the user<br />

who can use the Run As Administrator option.<br />

4. Ensure that your user ID does not contain double-byte characters.<br />

Note:<br />

To per<strong>for</strong>m a non-administrative installation, you cannot use the launchpad.<br />

You must instead switch to the InstallerImage_ folder in the disk1<br />

directory, and runuserinst.exe (<strong>for</strong> Windows), oruserinst (<strong>for</strong> Linux).<br />

5. If you don’t already have a <strong>DB2</strong> data server installed, you can download and install<br />

<strong>DB2</strong> Express-C Version 10.1.<br />

We will use the free version of <strong>DB2</strong>, <strong>DB2</strong> Express-C, <strong>for</strong> this book, although any<br />

supported version of <strong>DB2</strong> you already have is fine as well. To download the latest<br />

version of <strong>DB2</strong> Express-C, visit www.ibm.com/db2/express and select the appropriate<br />

file to download <strong>for</strong> the operating system you are using. Ideally, you should install <strong>DB2</strong><br />

Express-C be<strong>for</strong>e you install <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Studio</strong>. Refer to the free ebook <strong>Getting</strong> <strong>Started</strong> <strong>with</strong><br />

<strong>DB2</strong> Express-C <strong>for</strong> more details.<br />

6. Optionally, if you are planning on doing any data web services exercises, you can<br />

download and install WebSphere Application Server Community Edition (WAS CE)<br />

Version 2.1.<br />

7. Optionally, download the Sample Outdoor Company (GSDB) sample database.<br />

Although you can use the SAMPLE database included <strong>with</strong> <strong>DB2</strong> <strong>for</strong> many of the<br />

exercises in this book, we use another database, called GSDB that enables us to<br />

illustrate more capabilities. This database represents the sales and customer<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> the fictional Sample Outdoor Company. You can download the sample
