About the Net.Data Initialization File

Net.Data uses its initialization file to establish the settings of various configuration variables and to configure language environments and search paths. The settings of configuration variables control various aspects of Net.Data operation, such as the following:

The language environment statements define the Net.Data language environments that are available and identify special input and output parameter values that flow to and from the language environments. The language environments enable Net.Data to access different data sources, such as DB2 databases and system services. The path statements specify the directory paths to files that Net.Data uses, such as macros, REXX programs, and Perl scripts.

The Net.Data initialization file, db2www.ini, is located in the Web server's document directory. See the README file for you operating system for more information.

Authorization Tip: Ensure the user ID under which the Web server executes has authorization to read this file. See Granting Access Rights to Files Accessed by Net.Data for more information.
