DB2 Connect User's Guide
DB2 Connect uses the following directories to manage information about
databases that it connects to:
- The node directory, which contains network address and
communication protocol information for every host or AS/400 database server
that DB2 Connect accesses.
- The database connection services (DCS) directory, which
contains information specific to host or AS/400 database server
databases.
- The system database directory, which contains name, node, and
authentication information for every database that DB2 Connect
accesses.
Notes:
- Before updating these directories, you should configure communications on
the host or AS/400 database server and workstations. This is described
in DB2 Connect Personal Edition Quick Beginnings, and DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition for OS/2 and
Windows NT Quick Beginnings.
- Note that on OS/2, Windows 95, and Windows NT, database directories can be
updated using the DB2 Universal Database Client Configuration Assistant
(CCA). On Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11,
the database directories can be updated using the Data Sources Setup
tool.
On all other platforms the database directories must be updated using the
DB2 Command Line Processor (CLP).
- Updating the Directories provides example command syntax. For further
information refer to the Command Reference.
- If you are using DCE, for each host or AS/400 database server database
that you connect to you must update these directories or store equivalent
information in a global DCE directory. For more information about DCE,
see Appendix E, Using DCE Directory Services and the Administration Guide. This chapter assumes that you are not
using DCE Directory Services.
