step 1.
Log on to the system as a user with System Administrative (SYSADM) or System Controller (SYSCTRL) authority.
step 2.
If you are using DB2 Connect on a UNIX platform, 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.
To catalog an APPC node, specify 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. Enter the following commands:
catalog "appc node node_name remote sym_dest_name
security security_type"
terminate
 | The sym_dest_name parameter is case-sensitive and must exactly must 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, enter the following commands:
catalog appc node db2node remote DB2CPIC security program terminate
step 4.
To catalog an APPN node, specify the chosen alias (node_name), the network ID ((9)), the remote partner LU ((4)), the transaction program name ((17)), the mode ((15)), and the security type. Enter the following commands substituting your values from the worksheet in Table 26:
catalog "appn node db2node network SPIFNET remote NYM2DB2
tpname QCNTEDDM mode IBMRDB security PROGRAM"
terminate
