Installing and Configuring DB2 Clients

Chapter 10. Configuring Client-to-Server Communications Using the Command Line Processor

This section describes how to use commands to configure a client to communicate with a DB2 server using the command line processor.

If you are planning to use an OS/2 or Windows 32-bit client for communications, the Client Configuration Assistant (CCA) makes it easy to automate the tasks of configuring and administering DB2 clients to communicate with DB2 servers. If you have installed the CCA, it is recommended that you use this utility to configure your DB2 clients for communications. See Chapter 9. Configuring Client-to-Server Communications Using the Client Configuration Assistant for more information.

For instructions on using the command line processor, see Chapter 14. Entering DB2 Commands and SQL Statements. For a description of database naming rules, see Appendix C. Naming Rules.

Go to the communication protocol that you want your client to use to access a remote server.
