This task explains how to set up the IBM DB2 Universal Database to be used with ENOVIA V5 VPM.
The IBM DB2 Universal Database must already have been installed and configured.
After choosing which database you are using, and clicking the Next button in the previous step, the ENOVIA V5 VPM Dictionary Owner dialog box appears:

This dialog box lets you specify the user name and password that will be associated to the ENOVIA Dictionary Owner.

The Database Identification dialog box appears:
5. Click on the selection button to choose the database alias name for the chosen DB2 instance.

Note: If the database directory of the chosen database alias is LOCAL, then the database directory field will contain its path. If the database directory of the chosen database alias is REMOTE, then the database directory field will be blank.
