>Test results (see <A

successful, except the Configuration Assistant was very slow when launched
from the DB2 Control Center. I eventually had to kill the process and it
returned a DB2JAVIT : RC = 143 return code.

>One strange effect encountered was that DB2 windows were not showing
up when launching the Java-based GUI tools (and other windows were missing
window decoration); however, logging off and then back in again solved the
problem.</P

>To inherit the DB2 instance environment from another home directory,
create databases, dynamically load the DB2 libraries, and other tasks, I
found that I had to either disable SELinux or modify the default SELinux
policies. You can disable SELinux at run-time by running the following
command as root:

></FONT
></TD
></TR
></TABLE

Note that when you reboot SELinux will be enabled again. To disable SELinux
permanently, edit <TT
CLASS="filename"
>/etc/selinux/config</TT
> and set the
following value:

>If you have enabled your firewall (using the <B

service), and you want to enable external connectivity to your DB2 server,
you must open up ports 523 and any DB2 service ports (use <B
CLASS="command"
>db2 get dbm
cfg | grep SVCENAME</B
> to retrieve the service names and check
<TT
CLASS="filename"
>/etc/services</TT
