The choices you see depend on what the installation program detects in the PATH variable on the Lawson server machine. If you do not see the database you plan to use in the list of choices, verify that the directory containing the command to start the database appears in your PATH.

This value must be a valid user in the OS on the machine where the DB2 server is installed.

The password for the user

This value is the OS user password used to log into the system where DB2 is running.

The schema name to use when creating tables

The schema name is used to keep the data for this Lawson data set separate from any other data stored in the database. All tables will be created with this name as the table owner. You must use a unique schema name for each Lawson data area. As a best practice, use the format EnvironmentName_DataAreaName; for example, LSF1_GEN and LSF1_LOGAN.

The schema name cannot exceed 10 characters in length.
