You must add an entry to the DB2 Connect workstation's node directory to describe the remote node. This entry specifies the chosen alias (node_name), the hostname (or ip_address), and the svcename (or port_number) that the client will use to access the remote host.
To catalog a TCP/IP node, perform the following steps:
Step 1. | Log on to the system as a user with System Administrative (SYSADM) or System Controller (SYSCTRL) authority. |
Step 2. | 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 3. | Catalog the node by entering the following commands: catalog tcpip node node_name remote [hostname|ip_address]
server [svcename|port_number]
terminate
For example, to catalog the remote host nyx on the node called db2node, using the service name host1, enter the following: catalog tcpip node db2node remote nyx server host1 terminate To catalog a remote server with the IP address 9.21.15.235 on the node called db2node, using the port number 3700, enter the following: catalog tcpip node db2node remote 9.21.15.235 server 3700 terminate

If you need to change values that were set with the catalog node command, perform the following steps:
