Manually Configuring APPC Communications on the DB2 Connect Workstation

This section describes how to manually configure a DB2 Connect workstation to communicate with a host or AS/400 database server using the APPC communication protocol. The instructions in this section assume that APPC is supported on the DB2 Connect and host or AS/400 machines.

For more information about the communications requirements of your platform, see Software Requirements. See Possible Client-to-Server Connectivity Scenarios for the protocols supported for communication between your particular client and server.

The following steps are required to set up a DB2 Connect workstation to use APPC communications with a host or AS/400 database server:

• 1. Identify and Record Parameter Values.
• 2. Update the APPC Profiles on the DB2 Connect Workstation.
• 3. Catalog the APPC Node.
• 4. Catalog the Database as a Database Connection Service (DCS) Database.
• 5. Catalog the Database.
• 6. Bind Utilities and Applications to the Database Server.
• 7. Test the Host or AS/400 Connection.
