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.
You will only need to refer to the instructions in this section if you wish to configure your APPC connection to a host or AS/400 database by hand. APPC can often be configured automatically using the Client Configuration Assistant (CCA). For more information about the CCA, the communications requirements of your platform, or the protocols supported for communication between your particular client and server, refer to your Quick Beginnings manual.
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 or APPN 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.
