Related Parameters

• Directory Path Name in DCE Namespace (dir_path_name)
• Directory Services Type (dir_type)

This parameter specifies the name of the default routing information object entry that will be used by all client applications attempting to access a DRDA server. It applies to OS/2 and UNIX-based environments only.

If the value of this parameter starts with /.:/ or /.../, then the value will be used as is. Otherwise, it will be appended to the dir_path_name parameter (or DB2DIRPATHNAME environment variable) value to form the full name of the routing information object.

You can use the environment variable DB2ROUTE to override this default.

This parameter is only meaningful if the dir_type parameter is set to DCE.
