Create database from a client

[Roger]

Is it possible to create a database from a db2 client when the
database contains both SMS and DMS tablespaces ? We have a special
file structure that look like this :

x:\instancename _dbname
|-data (for DMS Containers)
|-idx (for DMS Containers)
|-SYSTEM SMS
|-temp SMS

For DMS tablespaces do I run the following :
DB2 CREATE REGULAR TABLESPACE tbspace_name PAGESIZE xK managed by
database using (FILE'location_ data\container_ name_001' container_size,
FILE'location_d ata\container_n ame_002' container_size) EXTENTSIZE
ext_size PREFETCHSIZE pref_size BUFFERPOOL bufferpool_name

and for SMS tablespaces do I run this :
DB2 CREATE REGULAR TABLESPACE tbspace_name PAGESIZE xK managed by
system using ('location_data \tbspace_name') EXTENTSIZE ext_size
PREFETCHSIZE pref_size BUFFERPOOL bufferpool_name

tbspace_name ,location_data ,container_size ,pref_size ,ext_size ,
bufferpool_name are variables (reading them from a txt file)

How should a be able and get the correct location_data eg correct
drive on the database server while running the above from a db2 client
? Creating a simple SMS database works ok but not the more complex
one.... Should I try with ant or something similar ? Note that I'm
running this on Windows.

You can certainly create tablespaces from a client, but you need
to know the full drive/directory information in order to write your
DDL.
If you use Control Center (part of the DB2 Admin client), it has a
wizard to create tablespaces and lets you browse the drives/directories
on the server to select the appropriate path.

Ok, maybe the description wasn't good enough.... I'm aware of the
capability's that CC has but the problem is that this is supposed to
be running in a unattended way. The user should NOT start CC to create
the database etc instead should this be running through a .cmd file or
some fancy java program on the client. Of course does the client has a
db2-client installed.

This how i doing this right now :
attach to the instance from client
run the .cmd file (from the client) to create the database,create
bufferpools,cre ate tablespaces etc.. and this working great after some
hard work.........
It's only thing that has to be fixed and that is how should I be able
and update the database configuration with a new logpath ?

Attach to the remote instance and run the update db cfg command?
