Setting up DB2 Connect is a multi-step process.
The typical steps to installing and configuring DB2 Connect Personal Edition 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. |
Step 2. | Verify that you have the correct hardware and software prerequisites on both your workstation and the host database server. See Planning for Installation for prerequisites. |
Step 3. | Verify that your host or AS/400 database server is configured to accept connections from DB2 Connect servers. |
Step 4. | Install your DB2 Connect software. You will use this workstation to configure and verify your host and AS/400 connections. For DB2 Connect installation instructions, see Installing and Configuring DB2 Connect Personal Edition for Linux. |
Step 5. | After installation, establish the connection between DB2 Connect and your host or AS/400 database system. DB2 Connect Personal Edition ships with integrated SNA support. If you need to manually configure the integrated SNA product, refer to the Installation and Configuration Supplement. |
Step 6. | Bind the programs and utilities provided with DB2 Connect to your host or AS/400 database. |
Step 7. | Test the connection. |
Step 8. | You are now ready to use DB2 Connect with all your applications. Workstations that will be used for application development should have the Application Development Client installed. |
Step 9. | If you want to use this workstation to administer DB2 for OS/390 or DB2 Universal Database for UNIX, Windows NT, Windows 2000 or OS/2 servers, install the DB2 Administration Client.
