Ensuring Proper Rights are Assigned to the Enterprise Server Account for DB2 for Linux, Windows, and UNIX

When running the Enterprise Platform Pack install, you must make sure that the DB2 for Linux, Windows, and UNIX database account signed on to the Enterprise Server has these special rights:

  • Act as part of the operating system

  • Create token object

  • Adjust memory quotas

  • Replace a process level token

Note: These rights are not automatically given when you add the account to the Administrator group. The account created by your DB2 for Linux, Windows, and UNIX install on your Windows server has these rights. By default, that account is named db2admin.
