This section describes how to configure a DB2 Connect workstation to communicate with a host or AS/400 database server using the APPC communication protocol. The instructions that follow assume that APPC is supported on the DB2 Connect and host or AS/400 machines.
See Software Requirements for the communication protocol requirements for your platform. See Possible Client-to-Server Connectivity Scenarios for the protocols supported for communication between your particular client and server.
The following steps are required to set up a DB2 Connect workstation to use APPC communications with a host or AS/400 database server:
Step 1. | Identify and record parameter values. |
Step 2. | Update the APPC profiles on the DB2 Connect workstation. |
Step 3. | Catalog the database. |
Step 4. | Catalog the APPC node. |
Step 5. | Catalog the database as a Database Connection Service (DCS) database. |
Step 6. | Bind utilities and applications to the database server. |
Step 7. | Test the Host or AS/400 Connection.
