Assuming that you maintain the model office throughout the development cycle so that it truly represents your production satellites, you can use the node and database directory entries, ODBC settings, database manager configuration values and DB2 registry values of the model office to set up your production satellites.
To automate the set up of the production satellites, export a client profile from the model office and import it to the production satellite. Use the db2cfexp command with the TEMPLATE option to generate a client profile from the model office. When DB2 Satellite Edition is installed on the satellite, import the client profile to the production satellite by using the db2cfimp command.
To automate the process, you can export the client profile from the model office when you run the response file generator utility, db2rspgn, to generate the response file that you will use to install your production satellites. The install program will import the client profile to set up the production satellites. For more information, see Chapter 10, Performing a Mass Deployment.
