DB2 graphic  QMF Version 8

Remote unit of work access

QMF allows you to connect to any of the DB2 UDB or DB2 Server for VSE or VM databases within a distributed network. When you connect to a remote location, it becomes your current location. These connections can be made between "like" (DB2-DB2) and "unlike" (DB2 Server for VSE or VM-DB2) locations. You can establish this connection during QMF initialization (using the DSQSDBNM program parameter of the START command) or from within a QMF session (with the QMF CONNECT command).

When you are connected to a remote location, all SQL statements you issue (except CONNECT) are directed to the database at the remote location for processing. Therefore, you can access data and QMF objects at a remote location in much the same way you would access data and objects at your own location. For example, you can create a table or replace comments on a table at a remote location by first connecting to that location with remote unit of work.

For more information on preparing for remote unit of work, see the appropriate Installing and Managing QMF manual. For more information on using remote unit of work, see Using DB2 QMF.
