DB2 Connect User's Guide

Creating a Routing Information Object

This object is required to be defined in DCE and it is retrieved by the DB2 client.

Use the DCE command cdscp create object to create a routing information object. For example:

   cdscp create object object_global_name

Add a DB_Object_Type attribute of R.

For each database object, add one DB_Target_Database_Info attribute. Each DB_Target_Database_Info attribute consists of the following parameters:

Database: The name of a database object, including the full path. Specify *OTHERDBS to indicate all other databases that are not specified explicitly.
Outbound protocol: The database protocol for host or AS/400 database server connections (DRDA)
Inbound protocol: The database protocol for remote client connections (DB2RA),
Authenticate at Gateway: 0 (for No) or 1 (for Yes), as described in Security with DCE Directory Services.
Parameter String for Gateway: The string containing the parameters to be used in the gateway. Its content is gateway specific. For DB2 Connect gateway specific strings refer to DCS Directory.
Database Locator: The name of a database locator object representing the DB2 Connect workstation

For example, you could put the following lines into a file:

   create object /.../cdscell1/subsys/database/ROUTE1
   add    object /.../cdscell1/subsys/database/ROUTE1 DB_Object_Type=R
   add    object /.../cdscell1/subsys/database/ROUTE1 DB_Target_Database_Info=\
   /.../cdscell1/subsys/database/DBMVS01;DRDA;DB2RA;0;;\
   /.../cdscell1/subsys/database/DBAIX01
   add    object /.../cdscell1/subsys/database/ROUTE1 DB_Target_Database_Info=\
   *OTHERDBS;DRDA;DB2RA;0;;\
   /.../cdscell1/subsys/database/DBAIX02

Then, enter the command:

   cdcsp < filename
