TCP/IP is the only communication protocol supported by DB2 Satellite Edition. The following sections describe the connectivity scenarios that are supported.
DB2 Satellite Edition can support outbound connections to:
DB2 Satellite Edition can also act as a client to any DB2 Universal Database server. Applications running on the satellite can access data stored in any DB2 Universal Database database.
If you are replicating data with a host or an AS/400, or if the tables for the replication control server reside on a host or an AS/400 database, you have two connectivity options:
| Note: | The DB2 Connect Support component supplied with DB2 Satellite Edition can only be used for these purposes. |
DB2 Satellite Edition can support inbound connections for satellite administration. Typical administrative activities include problem determination and correction by help desk or administrative staff. The CLP or Control Center can be used from a remote DB2 Universal Database to perform administrative tasks. Other vendor tools that use the DB2 administrative API interface, can also be used to perform administrative tasks. For more information about using the Control Center, see Appendix C, Administering DB2 Satellite Edition from the Control Center.
The Inbound Remote Administration component must be installed for inbound connection support. This component is installed by default when you use the typical installation, and can be selected when you use the custom installation. Inbound administrative connections are only supported over TCP/IP. DB2 Satellite Edition will be configured to use TCP/IP with default values for the service name and port number. You can override the default values during an interactive install, only if you have chosen the custom installation. The values for service name and port number can be overridden during any response file install.
