Configuring a DB2 database to support XML columns |
|
Release 9.3 |
NOTE: Not supported for ArcSDE for DB2 on z/OS.
ArcSDE XML columns require the DB2 Net Search Extender be installed. Once this is installed and registered with the database and your geodatabase is created and configured, you create the ArcSDE XML columns, create text indexes, and set up a metadata service user account. After everything is set up, you need to maintain the text index and text tag indexes. These steps are described in the following sections.NOTE: If you upgrade your DB2 database, you will need to upgrade your Net Search Extender as well. Instructions for this migration can be found at the DB2 site. The minimum supported version of the Net Search Extender for ArcGIS 9.3 is v8.1 fix pack 14.
