To DB2 Personal Developer Edition GIS users:
How do I acquire a spatial extender license key for the DB2 PDE? I
expected to be able to use it right out of the box.
Actually, you should be able to do so:
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data...ition-pde.html
That brings us to the question which error message you saw and what did
you do to trigger it.
The following steps produce the request for license key:
1 Download free DB2 personal developer edition (with licensed to
spatial extender advertised to be included here:
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data...ition-pde.html)
2 Install free DB2 PDE
Have you chosen to install the extender?
I don't know the PDE install routine. But I would expect that you can
select/deselect the extender during the install.
I don't remember seeing an option to install it and I don't know if DB2
keeps any installation logs. (complete newbie here, I only know Oracle
and SQL Server so I don't have an equivalence matrix built in my head
yet))
3 Start control center
4 Create and start the database (i.e. GISTEST)
5 Right click on the database name
6 select spatial extender/enable
Get following message:
The product "DB2 Spatial Extender" does not have a valid license key
installed and the evaluation period has expired. Functions specific to
this product are not enabled.
What's the output of "db2licm -l"?
I used your other suggestion of installing the package separately, so
now the db2licm -l produces the expected result. I think I'd have to
uninstall the PDE and "do over" to track down what specificly happens.
I may try that on my home PC, but it is running XP home edition, so I
don't know if it will cause any problems.
