Installing and Configuring DB2 Clients

Chapter 19. Administering Clients Using the CCA

Use the information in this section to use the Client Configuration Assistant to perform administration tasks on OS/2, Windows 95, and Windows NT workstations.

When you install the DB2 server, if your protocols are set up and configured, DB2 server communications are automatically configured to allow DB2 to accept requests from remote clients.

The CCA can be installed on OS/2, Windows 95, and Windows NT workstations. If it is not installed on your system, you can install it by reinstalling the DB2 product and choosing to install the CCA.

With the CCA, you can:

• Configure database connections that applications can use.
• Update or delete existing configured database connections.
• Display the information for existing configured connections.
• Test a connection to a database.
• Enable or disable database connections to be configured as CLI/ODBC data sources.
• Import or export client profiles which contain information for the setup of a client.
• Update client configuration settings.
• Discover remote databases (if enabled).
• Bind user applications and utilities to databases.
