__ a. The Symbolic destination name (16) defined at the Microsoft
SNA Server for the Partner LU (2) of the target host or
AS/400 database server.
__ b. The real database name (5).
You now need to update the DB2 directories, bind utilities and applications to the
server, and test the connection.
The easiest way to do this is to use the Client Configuration Assistant (CCA). For more
information on using the CCA, go to “Chapter 6. Configuring DB2 Connect to Host or
AS/400 Communications Using the CCA” on page 57. However, you can also perform
these steps manually, as described in “Step 3. Catalog the APPC or APPN Node” and
the sections that follow.
Step 3. Catalog the APPC or APPN Node
You must add an entry to the DB2 Connect workstations’s node directory to
describe the remote node. In most cases, you will add an APPC node entry to
the node directory. For OS/2, Windows 9x, and Windows NT, you can
alternatively add an APPN node entry if your local SNA node has been set up
as an APPN node.
To catalog the node, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Log on to the system as a user with System Administrative
(SYSADM) or System Controller (SYSCTRL) authority.
Step 2. To catalog an APPC node, specify the chosen alias (node_name),
Symbolic destination name (sym_dest_name), and the APPC security
type (security_type) that the client will use for the APPC connection.
Enter the following commands:
catalog "appc node node_name remote sym_dest_name
security security_type"
terminate
The sym_dest_name parameter is case-sensitive and must exactly must
match the case of the Symbolic destination name you defined
previously.
For example, to catalog a remote database server with the Symbolic
destination name DB2CPIC on the node called db2node, using APPC
Security type program, enter the following commands:
catalog appc node db2node remote DB2CPIC security program
terminate
Step 3. To catalog an APPN node, specify the chosen alias (node_name), the
network ID (9), the remote partner LU (4), the transaction
