Update the Protocol Information for the DB2 Server

The DB2 server information in LDAP must be kept current. For example, changes to the protocol configuration parameters or the server network address require an update to LDAP.

To update the DB2 server in LDAP on the local machine, use the following command:

   db2 update ldap ...

Examples of protocol configuration parameters that can be updated include:

• A TCP/IP hostname and service name or port number parameters.
• An IPX address.
• APPC protocol information like TP name, partner LU, or mode.
• A NetBIOS workstation name.

To update a remote DB2 server protocol configuration parameters use the UPDATE LDAP command with a node clause:

   db2 update ldap
      node <node_name>
      hostname <host_name>
      svcename <tcpip_service_name>

Refer to the Command Reference for more information on the UPDATE LDAP command.
