Configuring Host and AS/400 Databases for DB2 Connect

This section describes the steps required to configure host and AS/400 database servers to accept connections from DB2 Connect workstations. These steps must be performed by users who have the necessary system privileges and special expertise, such as your network or system administrator and your DB2 administrator.
