HOW TO

Set up direct connect for DB2 with ArcGIS Server on Linux

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Summary

Instructions provided describe how to set up the arcsoc.init file to include the environment variables necessary for performing DB2 direct connect.

Procedure



  1. Stop server:

    Code:
    <arcgis directory>/scripts/stopserver


    Note:
    In version 10.0, <arcgis directory> is the path to the server10.0 directory inside the arcgis directory. In previous versions, <arcgis directory> is the path to the arcgis directory.

  2. Make a backup of the <arcgis directory>/bin/arcsoc.init file:

    Code:
    cp <arcgis directory>/bin/arcsoc.init <arcgis directory>/bin/arcsoc.init.orig

  3. For DB2 Client version 8.x, set the following variables in the <arcgis directory>/bin/arcsoc.init file just before the exec $* statement:

    Code:
    SDEHOME=<arcgis directory>;export SDEHOME

    DB2_CLIENT_HOME=<DB2 client directory location>;export DB2_CLIENT_HOME

    DB2INSTANCE=<DB2 instance name>;export DB2INSTANCE

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SDEHOME/bin:$DB2_CLIENT_HOME/lib";export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    PATH="$PATH:$SDEHOME/bin:$DB2_CLIENT_HOME/bin:$DB2_CLIENT_HOME/adm:$DB2_CLIENT_HOME/misc";export PATH

    For example, with ArcGIS Server installed to /dir1/arcgis, DB2 Client located in /dir1/db2_81/db2udb/sqllib and DB2 instance named db2udb, the settings would be:

    Code:
    SDEHOME=/dir1/arcgis;export SDEHOME

    DB2_CLIENT_HOME=/dir1/db2_81/db2udb/sqllib;export DB2_CLIENT_HOME

    DB2INSTANCE=db2udb;export DB2INSTANCE

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SDEHOME/bin:$DB2_CLIENT_HOME/lib";export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    PATH="$PATH:$SDEHOME/bin:$DB2_CLIENT_HOME/bin:$DB2_CLIENT_HOME/adm:$DB2_CLIENT_HOME/misc";export PATH


    For DB2 Client version 9.x, set the following variables in the <arcgis directory>/bin/arcsoc.init file just before the exec $* statement:

    Code:
    SDEHOME=<arcgis directory>;export SDEHOME

    DB2_CLIENT_HOME=<DB2 client directory location>;export DB2_CLIENT_HOME

    DB2INSTANCE=<DB2 instance name>;export DB2INSTANCE

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SDEHOME/bin:$DB2_CLIENT_HOME/lib32";export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    PATH="$PATH:$SDEHOME/bin:$DB2_CLIENT_HOME/bin:$DB2_CLIENT_HOME/adm";export PATH

    For example, with ArcGIS Server installed to /dir1/arcgis, DB2 Client located in /dir1/db2_91/db2udb/sqllib and DB2 instance named db2udb, the settings would be:

    Code:
    SDEHOME=/dir1/arcgis;export SDEHOME

    DB2_CLIENT_HOME=/dir1/db2_91/db2udb/sqllib;export DB2_CLIENT_HOME

    DB2INSTANCE=db2udb;export DB2INSTANCE

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SDEHOME/bin:$DB2_CLIENT_HOME/lib32";export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    PATH="$PATH:$SDEHOME/bin:$DB2_CLIENT_HOME/bin:$DB2_CLIENT_HOME/adm";export PATH

  4. Start server:

    Code:
    <arcgis directory>/scripts/startserver
