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.
You will only need to refer to the instructions in this section if you wish
to manually configure your APPC connection to a host or AS/400
