The TCP/IP service name and port number are used for communication between DB2 and the Data Links File Manager. Both must be specified and be unique on the system.
The port number designates the particular TCP/IP port on which the Data Links File Manager listens for requests.
The service name is the name that is associated with the port number.
Type the Service name and Port number in the TCP/IP configuration group box.
The Data Links Manager Replication daemon works with DB2 DataPropagator to replicate files controlled by Data Links Manager during database replication. If you plan to do Data Links replication, you should enable this daemon. To enable the replication daemon, click Enable Data Links Manager replication daemon.
If you choose not to enable it now, you can manually enable it later. For more information on enabling replication, see the Quick Beginnings for DB2 Data Links Manager book.
Type a TCP/IP port number in the Port number field. This port is used by the replication daemon for transferring files during replication. The port number must be unique on the system and different from the other port numbers given.
