Lotus Domino Administrator 8.5 Help - Creating a service dependency for Domino and DB2

TROUBLESHOOTING

Creating a service dependency for Domino and DB2
If you are using a local configuration with IBM Lotus Domino and IBM DB2 Universal Database™ Enterprise Server Edition running on the same computer, you may want to create a service dependency in Microsoft Windows. Creating a service dependency between Domino and DB2 ensures that when Domino is configured to run as a service, the Domino service only starts after the DB2 service starts for that DB2 instance. This service dependency applies only to a local configuration of Domino and DB2. Before creating the service dependency, read all of the information in this topic.

For information about a local configuration, see "Supported configurations in Domino and DB2."

You need to be aware of the following information when creating the service dependency:

The Registry subkeys for services are located in the following path. These subkeys control how services are loaded.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Lotus Domino Server (Data)\
Create a new value named DependonService and then enter REG_MULTI_SZ as the data type.
In the Data dialog box enter the name of the service exactly as the name of the service appears in the registry under the Services key. When the computer starts, it uses this entry to verify that the service or services listed in this value are started before attempting to start the dependent service.
After creating the dependency, shut down and restart your system. The service manager process loads the dependency list when the system restarts.

For instructions on creating the service dependency, see the related topics.
