The CCA provides three methods to set up a database connection to a server:
v Using a profile.
v Searching the network for databases.
v Manually entering database and communication protocol information for a
server.
When you add a database using this configuration method, the
Client Configuration Assistant will generate a default node name for
the server where the database resides.
Configuration Steps
To configure your workstation to access a host or AS/400 database, perform
the following steps:
Step 1. Log on to the system with a valid DB2 user ID. For more
information, see “Appendix F. Naming Rules” on page 165.
If you are adding a database to a system that has a DB2 Connect
server product installed, log on to this system as a user with System
Administrative (SYSADM) or System Controller (SYSCTRL) authority
on the instance. For more information, see “Working with the System
Administrative Group” on page 138.
This restriction is controlled by the catalog_noauth database manager
configuration parameter. For more information, refer to the
Administration Guide.
Step 2. Start the CCA. For more information, see “Starting the Client
Configuration Assistant” on page 133.
The Welcome window opens each time you start the CCA, until you
add at least one database to your client.
Step 3. Click on the Add Database or Add push button to configure a
connection.
Go to the section that describes the configuration method that you want to use:
v “Adding a Database Using a Profile” on page 59.
v “Adding a Database Using Discovery” on page 60.
v “Adding a Database Manually” on page 62.
