How This Book is Structured
Setting up DB2 Connect is a multi-step process. The sections in this book
follow the typical sequence of tasks necessary to go from installing DB2
Connect to using client applications with your database.
The typical steps to installing and configuring DB2 Connect are as follows:
Step 1. Determine how you want to use DB2 Connect in your network. For
the available options, see “Accessing Host or AS/400 DB2 Data
Using DB2 Connect Personal Edition” on page 4.
Step 2. Verify that you have the correct hardware and software prerequisites

“Chapter 2. Planning for Installation” on page 23 for prerequisites.
Step 3. Verify that your host or AS/400 database server is configured to
accept connections from DRDA Application Requesters such as DB2

Step 4. The next step is to install your DB2 Connect software. You will use
this workstation to configure and verify your host and AS/400
