If you want to configure a DB2 client running on a UNIX-based workstation to access a remote server, see Configuring Client-to-Server Communications Using the Command Line Processor.
When you add a database using this configuration method, the CCA will generate a default node name for the server where the database resides.
To complete the steps in this section, you should be familiar with how to start the CCA. For more information, see Starting the Client Configuration Assistant.
| Note: | To configure communications from a DB2 client to a server, the remote server must be configured to accept inbound client requests. By default, the server installation program automatically detects and configures most protocols on the server for inbound client connections. It is recommended that you install and configure the communications protocols desired on the server before installing DB2.If you need to configure, update or add a communications protocol on your server, see Setting Up Server Communications. |
If you have added a new protocol to your network, or want to modify any of the default settings, go to Configuring Client-to-Server Communications Using the Command Line Processor.
If you are adding a host or AS/400 database, refer to the "Configuring DB2 Connect to Host or AS/400 Communications Using the Client Configuration Assistant" section in your DB2 Connect Quick Beginnings manual.
