have incorrectly speci®ed or click on the Help push button for more information. For even more detailed information, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.

Step 8. Enter your user ID and password and click on OK. If the connection is successful, a message con®rming the connection appears.

Step 9. 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.

You can use the Export feature of the CCA to create a Client Pro®le for an existing client con®guration and use it to create identical target clients across your network. A Client Pro®le contains database connection, ODBC/CLI, and con®guration information for an existing client. Use the CCA Import feature to set up multiple clients across your network. Each target client will have the same con®guration and settings as the existing client. For more information on creating and using Client Pro®les, see ªCreating and Using Pro®lesº.

You have now completed all the tasks that are involved in Quick

Beginnings and are ready to start using DB2 Connect.

If you want to deploy this product using a distributed installation, refer to the Installation and Con®guration Supplement.

Creating and Using Pro®les

The information in this section describes how to create and use pro®les to set up connections between DB2 clients and servers. You can use either a Server Pro®le or a Client Pro®le to con®gure database connections on a client.

Go to the section that describes the type of pro®le that you want to use:

Server Pro®les

A Server Pro®le contains information about instances on a server system, and databases within each instance. The information for each instance includes the protocol information required to set up a client to connect to databases in that instance.

To generate a Server Pro®le, use the Export Server Pro®le function provided in the Control Center. When a pro®le is generated, it includes instances that
