If you need to change values that were set with the catalog database command, perform the following steps:

Step a. Run the uncatalog database command:

uncatalog database database_alias

Step b. Recatalog the database with the value that you want to use.

Step 6. Bind Utilities and Applications to the Database Server

The steps you have just completed set up the DB2 Connect workstation to communicate with the host or AS/400 system. You must now bind the utilities and applications to the host or AS/400 database server.

To bind the utilities and applications to the host or AS/400 database server, enter the following commands:

db2 connect to dbalias user userid using password

db2 "bind path@ddcsmvs.lst blocking all sqlerror continue messages mvs.msg grant public"

db2 connect reset

For example:

db2 connect to NYC3 user myuserid using mypassword

db2 "bind /sqllib/myapps@ddcsmvs.lst blocking all sqlerror continue messages mvs.msg grant public"

db2 connect reset

The userid and password speci®ed must have the authority to bind applications against the target database.

Further information about these commands can be found in the DB2 Connect User's Guide.

Step 7. Test the Host or AS/400 Connection

When you have ®nished con®guring the DB2 Connect workstation for communications, you need to test the connection to the remote database.

Enter the following command at the DB2 Connect workstation, remembering to substitute the db_alias value you de®ned in ªStep 3. Catalog the APPC or APPN Nodeº on page 91 :

connect to db_alias user userid using password

For example, enter the following command:

connect to nyc3 user userid using password
