Chapter 6. Configuring DB2 Connect to Host or AS/400
Communications Using the CCA
This section describes how to use the Client Configuration Assistant (CCA) to
configure your DB2 Connect workstation to access host or AS/400 DB2
databases. The configuration steps described in this section apply if you are
connecting to the host or AS/400 system using TCP/IP or SNA (APPC).
The CCA cannot auto-detect or configure the following SNA (APPC)
subsystems:
v IBM eNetwork Communications Server
v Communications Server for Windows NT SNA API Client
v Microsoft SNA Server for Windows NT
To complete the steps in this section, you should be familiar with how to start
the CCA. For more information, see “Starting the Client Configuration
Assistant” on page 133.
To configure communications to a non-host or AS/400 based DB2 database, go to
“Chapter 9. Configuring Client-to-Server Communications Using the Client
Configuration Assistant” on page 105.
To configure communications to a host or AS/400 DB2 database using the command
line processor, or if an SNA product cannot be configured by the CCA, go to the section
that describes the communications protocol that you want to configure:
v TCP/IP - refer to the Installation and Configuration Supplement online document.
v APPC - see “Chapter 7. Configuring APPC Communications on the DB2 Connect
Workstation” on page 67.
With the CCA, you can:
v Configure database connections that applications can use.
v Update or delete existing configured database connections.
v Display the information for existing configured connections.
v Test a connection to a database.
v Enable or disable databases to be configured as CLI or ODBC data sources.
v Export client profiles, or import client and server profiles which contain
information for the setup of a client.
v Update client configuration settings.
v Discover remote databases (if enabled).
v Bind user applications and utilities to databases.
