connections. For DB2 Connect installation instructions, see ªPart 2. DB2 Connect: Planning and Installationº on page 21.

Step 5. After installation, you will establish the connection between DB2 Connect and your host or AS/400 database system. DB2 Connect can locate and con®gure all TCP/IP and most SNA connections for you. If you are using a supported SNA product that DB2 Connect does not automatically con®gure, see the chapter in ªPart 4. Con®guring DB2 Connect to Communicate with Host and AS/400 Databasesº on page 55 that corresponds to your SNA product.

vDB2 Connect Personal Edition ships with integrated SNA support. If you need to manually con®gure the integrated SNA product, refer to the Installation and Con®guration Supplement.

Step 6. Bind the programs and utilities provided with DB2 Connect to your host or AS/400 database. For instructions on binding programs and utilities provided with your DB2 Connect product, see ªStep 6. Bind Utilities and Applications to the Database Serverº on page 94.

Step 7. You will need to test the connection. See ªChapter 6. Con®guring DB2 Connect to Host or AS/400 Communications Using the CCAº on page 57 for more information.

Step 8. You are now ready to use DB2 Connect with all your applications.

Step 9. Workstations that will be used for application development should have the DB2 Software Developer's Kit installed. See ªPart 5. Con®guring DB2 Clients to Use DB2 Connectº on page 103 for instructions on installing and con®guring the DB2 Software Developer's Kit.

Step 10. If you want to use this workstation to administer DB2 for OS/390 or DB2 Universal Database for UNIX, Windows NT or OS/2 servers, install the DB2 Administration Client component of DB2 Connect. For more information on using Client tools, see ªAppendix B. Using the Control Center to Administer DB2 for OS/390 and DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition serversº on page 139.
