Quick Beginnings

Chapter 25. Using the Command Line Processor to Configure the DB2 Connect Server to Accept Clients

This section describes how to configure your DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition workstation to communicate with remote client workstations.

Also described in this section are considerations when configuring the DB2 Administration Server for communications. The Control Center and the Discovery function of the Client Configuration Assistant are dependent on the Administration Server's protocol configuration.

Follow the instructions in this section if you deselected a detected communication protocol during the installation or, you have added a communication protocol to your network since running the install program.

If you have installed the Control Center, you can use the Setup Communications function to configure the instance for communications; however, it cannot be used to set up communications for the Administration Server. The Control Center can be installed on OS/2 and Windows NT servers, or on OS/2, Windows 95, and Windows NT clients. On OS/2, the Setup Communications function can configure the APPC communications subsystem, in addition to updating the DB2 instance to use APPC. For all other operating systems, the Setup Communications function cannot update the APPC communications subsystem; however, it will update the required instance parameters on the server. Go to Chapter 24. "Configuring DB2 Connect Server Communications Using the Control Center" for more information.

For instructions on using the command line processor, see Chapter 38. "Entering DB2 Commands and SQL Statements".
