DB2 Connect User's Guide

Setting up DB2 Connect

Before you can use DB2 Connect, you must perform the following steps:

Step  1.	Install DB2 Connect, and configure both the host or AS/400 server, and workstation communications, as described in the appropriate DB2 Connect Quick Beginnings book or in the Installation and Configuration Supplement.
Step  2.	Update the database directories as described in Updating Database Directories. Note: On OS/2, and Windows 32-bit operating systems, we recommended that you use the Client Configuration Assistant (CCA). On all other platforms, the database directories must be updated using the DB2 Command Line Processor (CLP). Both approaches are described in the Installation and Configuration Supplement.
Step  3.	Bind the DB2 Connect utilities to each host or AS/400 database management system, as described in Binding Applications and Utilities. This task can also be performed using the CCA or the Data Sources Setup dialog where provided.
