A Client Pro®le is generated from a client using the Export function of the CCA. The information contained in a Client Pro®le is determined during the export process. Depending on the settings chosen, it can contain the existing client's:

vDatabase connection information (including CLI or ODBC settings).

vClient settings (including database manager con®guration parameters, DB2 registry variables).

vCLI or ODBC common parameters.

vCon®guration data for the local APPC or NetBIOS communications subsystem.

To create a Client Pro®le, perform the following steps:

Step 1. Start the CCA. For more information, see ªStarting the Client Con®guration Assistantº on page 133.

Step 2. Click on the Export push button. The Select Export Option window opens.

Step 3. Select one of the following export options:

vIf you want to create a pro®le that contains all of the databases cataloged on your system, and all of the con®guration information for this client, select the All radio button, click on OK, and go to Step 6.

vIf you want to create a pro®le that contains all of the databases cataloged on your system without any of the con®guration information for this client, select the Database connection information radio button, click on OK, and go to Step 6.

vIf you want to select a subset of the databases that are cataloged on your system, or a subset of the con®guration information for this client, select the Customize radio button, click on OK, and go to the next step.

Step 4. Select the databases to be exported from the Available DB2 databases box and add them to the Selected databases box by clicking on the > push button.

To add all of the available databases to the Databases to be exported box, click on the >> button.

Step 5. Select the check boxes from the Select custom export option box that correspond to the options that you want to set up for the target client.

To customize settings, click on the appropriate Customize push button. The settings that you customize will only affect the pro®le to be exported, no changes will be made to your workstation. For more information, click on the Help push button.
