DB2 Data Links Manager Quick Beginnings

6. Viewing the sample file

Finally, we will use this access token to view the psmith.bmp file:

1. Log on to the system using any user account other than the DB2 Data Links Manager Administrator or the DLFM1 user account.
2. Verify that you can access the file that is under the control of the Data Links File Manager.

   For our example, enter the following command:

      type "\\dlmserver\cdrive\pictures\token_key;psmith.bmp"
   

   where token_key is the encrypted key that you recorded in 5. Verifying the sample file is accessible.

   You should receive the following output from this command:

      "This is a picture of Paul Smith."
   

If you did not receive an error, you have access to this file and you have installed and configured DB2 Data Links Manager correctly. For information on commands that are used in the day-to-day operations of a DB2 Data Links Manager environment, go to Working with the Data Links File Manager.

If you received a error, go to Troubleshooting the configuration on Windows NT.
