This module allows you to manage averything there is to manage in an DB2 database. For example you can manage: users, tablespaces and schemas and much more.
The db2_config module extends the Puppet language to contain types needed to create and manage the lifecycle of objects within your database. Instead of writing complex SQL scripts, using this module, you can now define your database configuration in an easy declarative way. In the paragraph Functionality, we will give you small examples on how you can use this Puppet language extension to model aspects of your database.
All knowledge required to inspect, create, change and remove these DB2 objects is coded into our software. For our customers, it means they can focus on the “what” and leave the implementation details to our modules.
Our modules support a broad range of DB2 versions. We are committed to making our modules work on future releases. This allows our customers an easy upgrade path from older to newer versions.
The db2_config module now supports the next Puppet resources:

1. Free when used on VirtualBox
This module is Free when used on a VirtualBox testing machine. The software checks if you are using VirtualBox and allows usage. No need to get any licenses from us to get going. Just download the module from our own forge and get going. To download the module use:

2. Per node per year subscription
Our basic licensing model requires a subscription per node. The subscription is valid for a year. To make this work, we need you to send us the node name of the system you want to use the module on. (Not the puppetmaster, but the system where the agent is running.). Based on this information we will send you a file containing the entitlement for your node(s). You can purchase the entitlement in the shop or you can contact us. After you have ordered this module, you will receive an entitlement file. This file contains the information needed to run the software on your Puppet machine (agents).
