InfoCenter Home > 7.1.5: Remote database access with DB2 Universal Database (UDB)DB2 databases can be installed on the same machine as the WebSphere Application Server software or on a different machine. Installing the database on a different machine has several advantages:
All remote database clients use a communications product to support the protocol that is used to access a remote database server. The protocol stack must be installed and configured before a client can communicate with a remote DB2 UDB server. For WebSphere Application Server, the recommended protocol is TCP/IP. See the WebSphere Application Server installation documentation for your platform for instructions on how to configure a remote DB2 database. |
