Step 1.
Log on to the system as a user with System Administrative (SYSADM) or System Controller (SYSCTRL) authority.
Step 2.
Fill in the Your Value column in the following
worksheet.
Table 7. Worksheet: Parameter Values for Cataloging Databases
| Parameter | Description | Sample Value | Your Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Database name (database_name) | The local DCS database name (local_dcsname) of the remote database. You specified this when you catalogued the DCS database directory. For example, ny. | ny | |
| Database alias (database_alias) | An arbitrary local nickname for the remote database. If you do not provide one, the default is the same as the database name (database_name). This is the name that you use when connecting to the database from a client. | localny | |
| Node name (node_name) | The name of the node directory entry that describes where the database resides. Use the same value for node name (node_name) that you used to catalog the node in the previous step. | db2node |
Step 3.
Set up the instance environment and invoke the DB2 command line processor. Run the start-up script as follows:
. INSTHOME/sqllib/db2profile (for Bourne or Korn shell) source INSTHOME/sqllib/db2cshrc (for C shell)
where INSTHOME is the home directory of the instance.
Step 4.
Catalog the database by entering the following commands in the command line processor:
db2 catalog database database_name as database_alias at node node_name db2 terminate
For example, to catalog the DCS known database ny so that it has the local database alias localny, on the node db2node, enter the following commands:
db2 catalog database ny as localny at node db2node db2 terminate
 | If you need to change values that were set with the catalog
database command, perform the following steps:
