Installing and Configuring DB2 Clients
Use the instructions in this section to perform an
interactive installation of a DB2 client. You can also run unattended
installations of DB2 products to remote target machines running OS/2, Windows
3.x, Windows 95, or Windows NT.
|
Go to the section that gives instructions for the DB2 client that you want
to install.
|
Clients on a LAN that will connect to a DB2 Universal Database must have
the DB2 Client Application Enabler or the DB2 Software Developer's Kit
installed.
|
The DB2 Client Application Enabler is installed with any DB2 Version 5
product. If a DB2 Version 5 product currently exists on this
workstation, the DB2 Client Application Enabler component has already been
installed, and there is no need to install a DB2 Client Application
Enabler. To configure your client to access remote servers, go to Chapter 9. "Configuring Client to DB2 Server Communications Using the CCA".
|
DB2 Client Application Enablers and DB2 SDKs are available for the
following operating systems: AIX, DOS, HP-UX, Macintosh, OS/2, SCO
OpenServer, Silicon Graphics IRIX, SINIX, Solaris, Windows 3.1x,
Windows 95, and Windows NT.
You may install DB2 Client Application Enablers on any number of
workstations; there are no licensing restrictions for installation. DB2
Enterprise Edition allows an unlimited number of users to connect to the
server, DB2 Workgroup has use-based entitlement restrictions for the number of
users that can connect to the server.
The DB2 Software Developer's Kits are on the DB2 SDK CD-ROM that comes
with the AD Kit. The DB2 Client Application Enablers (except the DOS
client) are on the Client Pack CD-ROM.
|
To obtain DB2 Client Application Enablers for all clients, including DOS,
connect to the IBM Web site
(http://www.software.ibm.com), search for the
IBM Database 2 Client Application Enabler Pack, and follow the
instructions provided.
