Quick Beginnings

Step 3. Complete the Configuration

When you have configured all of your server connections, do the following on the DB2 Connect for AIX workstation:

1. Confirm that the db2comm environment variable includes APPC. Enter:

      db2set db2comm
   

   If APPC is not set, set it using a command similar to the following:

      db2set db2comm=appc -g
   

   For more details on this command, refer to Chapter 39. "Controlling Your DB2 Environment".

2. If your token ring has never before been used for SNA, issue the following command:

      mkdev -c dlc -s dlc -t tokenring
   

3. Choose the Verify SNA Configuration Profiles panel. This checks that all of the required profiles exist on your system and that the information in them does not conflict. You should repeat this step any time you change your configuration, even if you only update one profile.

   Verification can take several minutes. For each error message that you receive, correct the error. When you have corrected all the errors, redo the verification. The verification program does not guarantee that your network parameters are accurate. It verifies only parameters that can be checked within the local system.

4. Stop and start SNA Server for AIX. You can use smit or issue the following commands:

      sna -stop sna
      sna -start
   

5. Update the node directory, system database directory, and DCS directory. Enter the following commands in the command line processor, replacing the text in italics with your values from the worksheet:

      catalog appc node db2node remote DB2CPIC security program
      db2 catalog database db2db as nyc3 at node db2node authentication dcs
      db2 catalog dcs database db2db as new_york3
   

   Refer to the worksheet for:

   • The node name, worksheet item (19), example value db2node

   • The symbolic destination name, worksheet item (17), example value DB2CPIC

   • The database name, worksheet item (21), example value db2db

   • The security type, worksheet item (20), example value Program

   • The database alias, worksheet item (22), example value nyc3.

   • The target database name, worksheet item (5), example value new_york3

6. Connect to the DRDA Server and bind the utilities and applications to the DRDA server using commands similar to the following:

      connect to dbalias user userid using password
      bind path@ddcsmvs.lst blocking all
           sqlerror continue messages mvs.msg grant public
      connect reset
   

   For further information, refer to the online DB2 Connect User's Guide.
