Installing and Configuring DB2 Clients

Configuration Parameters

Configuration parameters are values that affect the operating characteristics of a database or database management system.

Database management configuration parameters exist on servers and clients. However, only certain database management configuration parameters can be set on the client. These parameters are a subset of the database management configuration parameters that can be set on the server.

Database configuration parameters can be set only on the server.

For information on setting server database or database management configuration parameters, refer to the Administration Guide .
