Install DB2 and Lotus Domino 8.5

Hello,I’m à PartnerWorld IBM, here are my misadventure with the installation of DB2 and Lotus Domino:

I started by trying to get DB2 and Lotus Domino 7, I had a great difficulty to found a famous DLL … ndb2key.dll

I finally installed Lotus Domino 8.5 and DB2 9.1

My OS: Windows XP Home

All my clients Lotus Notes are : v8.5.1

Once again, I had great difficulty tou found “IBM DB2 Access for Lotus Domino”, I think it is called only for requests from DB2 to Domino, or i want only get flow from Domino to DB2.

I went through a lots of documentation, is more formal: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=1041&uid=swg27010956

but this does not help me too.

that’s what I did:

  • Create Domino IDs : user and server

  • Domino User ID have “DB2 account name = db2admin”

  • A Windows account named “db2admin” is created

  • Groups and users are created under windows as shown in the Help

  • Level of DB2, the db2admin account has all rights to a DB2 instance and a database named “Domino”

In short, I did everything (or almost) as indicated in Help unless the installation of “IBM DB2 Access for Lotus Domino” because I can’t find it.

but unfortunately I still have the same error messages like:

  • ServerName / org Failed when DB2 was getting properties. DB2 NSF failure: * local.DB2.100315114042 (nserver)

  • I have the same error for nevent, nupdate …

Can someone help me please ? I spent some nights but I can’t fix this error …

one last detail, my DB2 is an “Edition Server 9.1” just a trial version …

Thank you for your help.

Subject: NSFDB2

I would not invest any time with nsfdb2. It’s still available but as anounced in Lotusphere 2009, development won’t continue for nsfdb2.

And it is really difficult to implement.
