Completing the Worksheet

Fill in a copy of the primary worksheet for each AS/400, OS/390, MVS, VM, or VSE connection that you want to set up. Note the following:

  1. XID node ID is the concatenation of the IDBLK and IDNUM values for the DB2 Connect for AIX workstation (14) and (15). For an OS/400 connection, write an asterisk (*) at (14). This value means that you will use the default XID.
  2. The network name at the host ((1)) may be the same as that at the DB2 Connect for AIX workstation ((10)); check with your network administrator.
  3. The Control Point name of the DB2 Connect workstation ((11)) is usually the same as the PU name. You can find the control point name of your DB2 Connect workstation by entering smit and selecting panels in the following order:
    1. Communications Applications and Services
    2. SNA Server for AIX
    3. Configure SNA Profiles
    4. Advanced Configuration
    5. Control Point
    6. Change/Show a Profile.
  4. The Control Point name for the host ((4)) is the System Services Control Point (SSCP) name for an OS/390, MVS, VM, or VSE system, or the Local Control Point name for an AS/400 system (see "Preparing DB2 for AS/400 for DB2 Connect" and Table 46).
  5. The same mode name should be used at both the host and the DB2 Connect (see (6) and (16)).
  6. For Local LU alias ((13)), use the same name as the Local LU name ((12)). This helps to avoid confusion.
  7. For Link station profile name ((7)), choose a value.
  8. For Remote link address ((8)), provide the controller address or the adapter address for the host.
  9. For Symbolic destination name ((17)) choose a suitable value. Note that this value is case sensitive.
  10. For Partner LU name ((2)), for OS/390, MVS, VM, or VSE, this is the VTAM application name (APPL) defined to the host database server. For OS/400, it is the Local Control Point name.
  11. For Remote transaction program ((18)), The default is X'07F6C4C2' for OS/390, MVS, and OS/400, and the RDB_NAME (real database name) for VSE and VM.
  12. The target database name ((5)) is the LOCATION NAME for DB2 for OS/390 or DB2 for MVS/ESA, the RDB_NAME for DB2 for VM or the relational database name for DB2 for AS/400.
