DB2 Connect Personal Edition relies on network software to
provide connectivity to host and AS/400 databases as well as to DB2 Universal
Database servers. Therefore, it is important to establish which network
software you will use before proceeding with the installation.
DB2 Connect Personal Edition uses communication software for establishing
host connectivity and connectivity to DB2 Universal Database servers.
For the host connectivity, your software requirements will depend on:
| Product
| Hardware/Software Requirements
| Communications
|
| OS/2
|
- DB2 Connect Personal Edition
|
- OS/2 Warp Version 3 and Version 4
- OS/2 Warp Connect Version 3
- OS/2 Warp Server Version 4
- OS/2 Warp Server Advanced V4
- OS/2 Warp Server Advanced V4 with SMP Feature
- OS/2 Warp Server for e-business
Versions of OS/2 with built-in communications capabilities such as
OS/2 Warp Connect, Warp Server, Warp Server Advanced, and OS/2
Warp Version 4 are recommended.
Notes:
- If you plan to install DB2 Connect using TME 10 SystemView, you must have
TME 10 SystemView LAN Client provided by the OS/2 Warp Server.
- The DB2 SNMP subagent requires DPI 2.0 support provided by the
OS/2 Warp Server installed. If you plan to use DB2 SNMP subagent
for system management, you will have to use OS/2 Warp Server.
| APPC, IPX/SPX, NetBIOS, or TCP/IP
- For local IPX/SPX connectivity, you require Novell NetWare Requester,
Version 2.10 or later.
- For local NetBIOS connectivity, you require IBM NTS/2 Version 1.0,
or IBM Communications Manager Version 1.x or later, or IBM OS/2
LAN Requester.
- For TCP/IP connectivity, you require IBM TCP/IP Version
3.0 or later for OS/2 Warp Versions 3 and 4, and for OS/2
Warp Connect Version 3. The OS/2 Warp Server Version 4 base
operating system provides TCP/IP connectivity, if selected during
installation.
- For SNA (APPC) connectivity, one of the following communications products
is required:
- IBM eNetwork Communications Server for OS/2 Warp Version 5
- IBM eNetwork Personal Communications for OS/2 Warp Version 4.2
- IBM Communication Server for OS/2 Version 4
Notes:
- If you plan to use two-phase commit with DB2 Connect and DRDA host
systems, you must install the Syncpoint Manager (SPM) function and its
prerequisites.
- The DB2 SNMP Subagent requires DPI 2.0 support provided by the
OS/2 Warp Server.
- Installing clients and servers using TME 10 Netfinity requires TME 10
Netfinity LAN Client provided by the OS/2 Warp Server.

| Windows 32-bit Operating Systems
|
- DB2 Connect Personal Edition
|
- Windows 95 Version 4.00.950 or later
- Windows 98
- Windows NT Version 4.0 with Service Pack 3, or later
| APPC, TCP/IP, and MPTN (APPC over TCP/IP)
- The Windows NT base operating system provides NetBIOS, IPX/SPX, Named
Pipes, and TCP/IP connectivity.
For SNA (APPC) connectivity, one of the following communication products is
required:
- IBM Communications Server for Windows NT Version 5.01 or later
- IBM Personal Communications for Windows NT Version 4.1 or later
- Microsoft SNA Server Version 4 Service Pack 2 or later
Notes:
- If SNA two-phase commit is necessary, then IBM Communications Server for
Windows NT Version 5.01 or later is required.
- If you plan to use DCE (Distributed Computing Environment) with Version 6
of DB2 Universal Database, you will need:
- A DCE product that is at OSF DCE level 1.1 with IBM DCE for Windows
NT Version 2.0.
- To ensure that if you are connecting to DB2 for OS/390 V5.1
database that it is enabled for DCE support using OS/390 DCE Base Services
Version 3.
In addition, DB2 also supports Gradient PC-DCE for Windows 32-bit
operating systems Version 2.0 Runtime Media Kit. For DB2 Connect
support, you require DB2/MVS Version 5.1 plus its prerequisite, OS/390
DCE Base Services version 3 for DCE support.
| Note: | With DB2 Connect, you must install DCE Directory Services on the client and
the DRDA server. You do not need DCE installed on a DB2 Connect
Enterprise Edition server.
|
- If you plan to use LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), you
require the IBM eNetwork LDAP Directory Client Version 3.1. For
more information, refer to the Administration Guide.
- If you plan to use the ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager (ADSM)
facilities for backup and restore of your databases, you require the ADSM
Client Version 3 or later.
- If you have the IBM Antivirus program installed on your operating system,
it must be Version 3.0 or later.
- If you plan to use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) subagent,
you require DPI 2.0 provided by IBM Netfinity Agent.
