4.2 | 16 | * First make sure your database instance width matches the JVM. If you have a 32-bit JVM you need a 32-bit instance. 64-bit JVM requires a 64-bit instance. If they don't match, you will get an //UnsatisfiedLinkError// when first connecting to XWiki. |
| 17 | * Open a DB2 Command Line Processor, either via typing //db2// or on Windows by navigating to Start > All Programs > IBM DB2 > Command Line Tools > Command Line Processor. This will give you a command prompt //db2 =>//. | ||

4.2 | 41 | * Ensure ##$INSTHOME/sqllib/lib## is in your library path. This is something like ##$LIBPATH##, depending on your OS. |

1.2 | 42 | * Copy the following files from your DB2 installation directory to the xwiki lib directory: |

| |
5.1 | 45 | * Configure XWiki to use DB2. To do this, edit the ##WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml## file where you have expanded the XWiki WAR file. Replace the matching properties with the following ones (or uncomment them if they are present):((( |

 |
6.1 | 62 | If you try to do a search via [[Main.WebSearch]] you will get a big DB2 SQLException with //SQLCODE: -440//. This is caused because the UPPER() function only works for columns with 250 bytes of data or so in it. Since XWiki calls UPPER() for an entire CLOB column, this just doesn't work. The only solution I found is to remove all the calls to UPPER() in [[Main.WebSearch]]. Alternatively, you may want to examine the [[Lucene search application>>extensions:Extension.Search Application]]. |
