• The DB2 Database is installed and configured.
• Enterprise Security Administrator (ESA) is installed, configured, and running.

• Access to the database server as the sudo access user is available. This permission is required to install all the components.
• Access to the DB2 database as the database user is available.
• The following permissions are available to the user and group to install and uninstall the UDFs:
  • GRANT DBADM ON DATABASE TO USER <user_name>;
  • GRANT DBADM ON DATABASE TO GROUP <user_name>;
  • GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE TO USER <user_name>;
  • GRANT CREATEIN, ALTERIN, DROPIN ON SCHEMA PTY TO USER <user_name>;
