Quick Beginnings for UNIX

Step 3. Catalog the APPC Node

You must add an entry to the DB2 Connect workstations's node directory to describe the remote node. This entry specifies the chosen alias (node_name), Symbolic destination name (sym_dest_name), and the APPC security type (security_type) that the client will use for the APPC connection.

To catalog the APPC 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 appc node node_name remote sym_dest_name security security_type terminate Note: The sym_dest_name parameter is case-sensitive and must exactly match the case of the Symbolic Destination Name you defined previously. For example, to catalog a remote database server with the Symbolic Destination Name DB2CPIC on the node called db2node, using APPC Security type program, use: catalog appc node db2node remote DB2CPIC security program terminate Note: To connect to DB2 for MVS, it is recommended that you use security PROGRAM.

If you need to change values that were set with the catalog node command, perform the following steps: Step  1. Run the uncatalog node command in the command line processor as follows: uncatalog node node_name Step  2. Recatalog the node with the values that you want to use.
