<P>

You can run the tests against any other database you want, but please make
sure you update the CONFIG file before running the test script.

Once the test completes, you can install the module with:

Mike O'Reilly conttibuted the following notes to build the DB2::Admin
module on Windows.


<P>

The ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 for x64 is available for download built with
Microsoft Visual C v6 with the freely available compiler in the ``Microsoft
Windows 2003 Server SP1 Platform SDK''. It is necessary to use the same
compiler to build any Perl modules that use the C language. For VS2005 and
VS3008 modules do not bind against MSVCRT.DLL (but instead use MSVCR90.DLL
or MSVCR71.DLL etc). 


<P>

The filename (on FTP search) that contains the correct compiler is
``5.2.3790.2075.51.PlatformSDK_Svr2003R2_rtm.img'' (aka PSDK). It may not
be available on Microsoft websites, but is available elsewhere. It is not
possible to build modules with Visual-Studio-2005 or Visual-Studio-2008 and
get them to work with the pre-built ActiveState Per 5.8.x (unless you also
rebuild perl itself from sources with the same toolkit, something I did not
attempt).


<P>

When DB2 is up and running (install as 'Administrator', then add target
users to the DB2ADMNS or DB2USERS groups as appropriate), it is necessary
to open a DB2CMD window , execute the PSDK ``setenv /XP64 /X64 /RETAIL'' in
that window, and perform the build in that window. Then I ran the following
sequence of steps.


<P>

<PRE>  set DB2_VERSION=V9.5
  perl parse_constants.pl
  build/test/install Pod::Simple
  build/test/install Pod::Escapes
  build/test/install Test::Pod
  modify CONFIG appropriately
  perl create_test_db
  perl makefile.pl
  nmake
  nmake test
