A DB2 Connect server enables multiple clients to connect to host or AS/400 data and can significantly reduce the effort that is required to establish and maintain access to enterprise data. Figure 4 illustrates IBM's solution for environments in which you want a DB2 client to make an indirect connection to a host or AS/400 database server through DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition.
In the following example, you could replace the DB2 Connect server with a DB2 UDB Enterprise Edition or Enterprise - Extended Edition server that has the DB2 Connect Server Support component installed.
