mfhco and cobmfhco create commands

Important: Before executing the mfhco or cobmfhco create command, be sure that the MFCODESET environment variable is set to the appropriate country code. See Creating a DB2 LUW Database for HCO for details.

Syntax

Windows:

mfhco create db=databasename [coll=collsequence] [log=logfilename] 
   [drv=driveletter] [id=logon-id] [pass=password] [srvr=nodename] [lctn={L | R}]

UNIX:

cobmfhco create db=databasename [coll=collsequence] [log=logfilename] 
   [id=logon-id] [pass=password] [srvr={nodename | db2instancename}] [lctn={L | R}]

Syntax Rules

At least one space must occur before each parameter in the command.
There must be an equals sign (=) between parameters and their values.
If you omit parameters that have a default value, Host Compatibility Option uses the default value.

Parameters

`databasename`	Specifies the name of the new database.
`collsequence`	If specified, must be the default value MFD. This ensures that the environment variable MFCODESET is used.
`logfilename`	The name of the log file in which to capture output information. The default value is createdb.log.
`driveletter` (applies to Windows environments only)	The drive letter to create local database on.
`logon-id`	The logon ID required to connect to the server where the database is to reside.
`password`	The password required to connect to the server where the database is to reside.
`nodename`	For databases on a remote server, the cataloged DB2 node name for that server.
`db2instancename`(applies to UNIX environments only)	For databases on a local server, the default DB2 instance name specified by the DB2INSTANCE environment variable.
L	Indicates that the database location is a local server. Default.
R	Indicates that the database location is a remote server.

Examples

The following Windows command:

mfhco create db=test drv=e

creates a database named test on drive e using the default Enterprise Developer EBCDIC collating sequence.

The following UNIX command:

cobmfhco create db=test srvr=db2inst1

creates a database named test using the default Enterprise Developer EBCDIC collating sequence in the DB2 instance db2inst1.
