Step 8. You are now able to use this database. To ®nish using the Add Database SmartGuide, click on the Close push button; you can then add more databases by clicking on the Add push button or exit the CCA.

Adding a Database Manually

If you have the protocol information for the server that you want to connect to, you can manually enter all of the con®guration information. This method is analogous to entering commands via the command line processor, however, the parameters are presented graphically for you.

To add a database to your system manually, perform the following steps:

Step 1. Select the Manually con®gure a connection to a DB2 database radio button and click on the Next push button.

If you are not using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), this tab will not be shown, skip this step and go to Step 3.

Step 2. Select the radio button that corresponds to the location where you would like your DB2 directories to be maintained.

vIf you would like to maintain the DB2 directories locally, select the Add database to your local machine radio button and click on the Next push button.

vIf you would like to maintain the DB2 directories globally at an LDAP server, select the Add database using LDAP radio button and click on the Next push button.

Step 3. Select the radio button that corresponds to the protocol that you want to use from the Protocol list and click on the Next push button.

If you have installed a DB2 Connect product or the DB2 Connect Server Support feature available with DB2 Enterprise Edition or DB2 Enterprise - Extended Edition, and have selected the TCP/IP or APPC radio button, select the radio button from the Target operating system list that corresponds to the type of system where the database that you are trying to connect to resides.

Step 4. Enter the required communication protocol parameters and click on the Next push button. For more information, click on the Help push button.

Step 5. Enter the database alias name of the remote database that you want to add in the Database name ®eld and a local database alias name in the Database alias ®eld. Add a comment that describes this database in the Comment ®eld and click on the Next push button.

If you are adding a database that resides on a host or AS/400 system, the Database name ®eld will appear as follows:
