To register a Db2 server:
- From the navigation menu, expand Manage Protection, then expand Applications. Expand Db2, then click Backup.
- Click Manage Application Servers.

To troubleshoot an application server after registration, use the Actions > Test function. The Test function verifies communication with the server, tests DNS settings between the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus appliance and the server, and installs the necessary agent on the server.
Providers are automatically cataloged after registration. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus creates a high-level Inventory job and catalogs the objects on the provider. To manually run an Inventory job, click Run Inventory from the Backup pane.
NEXT STEPS:
- Assign user permissions to the server. See Access.
