Connecting to the OLAP catalog

On the Login panel, log in to the DB2 database that will contain the OLAP catalog.

  1. Type the following values:

    Server
    The name of the server machine on which the DB2 OLAP Starter Kit server has been installed. Contact your database administrator for this information.

    Catalog
    The name of the DB2 database in which you will store the metadata for your OLAP model. This tutorial uses the sample catalog shipped with DB2 Universal Database, which is called TBC_MD.

    User Name
    The user ID you will use to access DB2 UDB. In the examples in this tutorial, the user ID is tbc.

    Password
    The password for the user ID entered in Username.
  2. You could click Set Login Defaults to store the server, catalog, and user ID you entered here as defaults for future use. For security reasons, the password is not stored. Do not save the defaults for this lesson.
  3. Click OK. The Welcome window of the DB2 OLAP Integration Server Desktop is displayed:
