Troubleshooting Information

Following errors I came across while installing TDS


Problem 1: Stash Key Problems
Solution: Please make sure to enter the "encryption salt string"


Problem 2: Problems creating the DB2 instance

Solution: Make sure to login as local user(created by DB2) who is a member of local Administrators, DB2ADMNS groups, and if you logged in as the Domain user It doesn’t work while installing.

Note: Extension to this problem some time you may need to run the following DB2 command to create the DB2ADMNS and DB2USERS group in local. If the DB2USERS group is not found, extended security for DB2 on Windows might not be enabled. To enable extended security on Windows, stop the database, run the db2extsec.exe command, and then restart the database again as shown.

Db2stop

Db2extsec

Db2start

NOTE : 
1. If any problem you can delete the TDS instance and corresponding the DB2 instance using the TDS adminstration console, and re-create using the above steps
2. Once the installation done, you should able to see new DB2 instance , to list the DB2 instances use following cmd

list all db2 instances :> db2ilist

TDS - Web Administration Tool

Copy the IDSWebApp.war file from the TDS installer and install this on the WAS console as any other war file and you can access using URL like below

http://localhost:9082/IDSWebApp/IDSjsp/IDSConsoleFrameWork.jsp

Use the default UserID/Pwd : superadmin/ secret
