Chapter 33. Configuring Client-to-Server Communications Using the Command Line Processor

This section describes how to use commands to configure a client workstation to communicate with a DB2 Connect server using the command line processor.

If you are planning to use an OS/2, Windows 95, or Windows NT client for communications, the Client Configuration Assistant (CCA) makes it easy to automate the tasks of configuring and administering clients to communicate with servers. If you have installed the CCA, it is recommended that you use this utility to configure your clients for communications. See Chapter 32. "Configuring Client to DB2 Connect Server Communications Using the CCA" for more information.

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

Go to the communication protocol that you want your client to use to access a remote server. Named Pipes - see "Configuring Named Pipes on the Client" TCP/IP - see "Configuring TCP/IP on the Client" NetBIOS - see "Configuring NetBIOS on the Client" IPX/SPX - see "Configuring IPX/SPX on the Client" APPC - refer to the Installing and Configuring DB2 Clients online manual for more information
