Command Reference

db2cfexp - Connectivity Configuration Export Tool

Exports connectivity configuration information to an export profile, which can later be imported at another DB2 Universal Database (UDB) workstation instance of similar instance type.

This utility exports connectivity configuration information into a file known as a configuration profile. It is a non-interactive utility that packages all of the configuration information needed to satisfy the requirements of the export options specified. Items that can be exported are:

Database information (including DCS and ODBC information)
Node information
Protocol information
database manager configuration settings
UDB registry settings
Common ODBC/CLI settings.

This utility is especially useful for exporting connectivity configuration information at workstations that do not have the DB2CCA GUI installed, and in situations where multiple similar remote UDB clients are to be installed, configured, and maintained.
