DB2INSTANCE
DB2CODEPAGE

the database client software or the
entire database installation.
The load library path.You must add
driver location.
Examples:
Solaris example:

The default database server
connection.
Setting this optional environment
variable to a value of 1208 provides
support for multilingual databases.
For information about whether to
use this environment variable, see
the DB2 documentation.
2. Determine if the database is unicode by typing the following at the command prompt:
db2 get database configuration for database_name
The codepage is Unicode if it has a value of 1208.
3. If the codepage is not Unicode, create a database that has a codepage value of 1208.
4. Ensure that you set the following configuration parameters.
Property
Application heap size
(applheapsz)
Lock Timeout
Setting
1024k
4 min. (or 240 sec.)
We recommend that you set the Lock Timeout configuration parameter to a reasonably
long timeout value, such as four minutes or 240 seconds. Do not set it to an infinite timeout
value.
5. Create a buffer pool with a page size of 16k.
6. Create a system temporary tablespace with a page size of 16k.
7. Create a user temporary tablespace with a page size of 4k.
