Warehouse Manager Installation Guide

Preparing to install warehouse agents

Warehouse agent sites must have access to warehouse sources and warehouse targets. You must register these source and target databases with ODBC as system DSNs. On AIX or the Solaris Operating Environment, you must specify them in the .ODBC.INI file. This applies also to the server workstation for data that is accessed by the default local agent. See the Data Warehouse Center Administration Guide for more information.

You must install TCP/IP on the warehouse agent site to establish connectivity between the warehouse agent site and the warehouse server. See Establishing connectivity for information about setting up connectivity.

If you want to serve a remote client from a DB2 server, set the DB2COMM environment variable on the DB2 server:

db2set -i instance DB2COMM=TCPIP

This setting allows the server to accept TCP/IP requests from remote clients.
