The bind ®les are grouped together in different .lst ®les in the bnd directory, under the installation directory (typically sqllib\win on Windows 3.x systems and sqllib for OS/2, and Windows 32-bit operating systems). Each ®le is

speci®c to a server.

Binding to Host Databases

To bind the utilities and applications to the DRDA server, connect to the DRDA server and use commands similar to the following:

connect to dbalias user userid using password

bind path/bnd/@ddcsmvs.lst blocking all sqlerror continue messages mvs.msg grant public

connect reset

where path corresponds to the DB2PATH registry value. These commands are described in detail in the DB2 Connect User's Guide.

Binding to DB2 Universal Databases

How you bind the database utilities to a database depends on your workstation's operating system:

vOn OS/2 and Windows 32-bit operating systems, you can use the Client Con®guration Assistant by performing the following steps:

Step 1. Start the Client Con®guration Assistant (CCA).

Step 2. Select the database to which you want to bind the utilities.

Step 3. Click on the Bind push button.

Step 4. Select the Bind DB2 Utilities radio button.

Step 5. Click on the Continue push button.

Step 6. Enter a user ID and password to connect to the database. The user ID must have the authority to bind new packages against the database.

Step 7. Select the utilities you want to bind and click on OK.

vOn all operating systems, you can use the command line processor by performing the following steps:

Step 1. Change to the bnd directory, which is x:\sqllib\bnd, where x: is the drive where you installed DB2.

Step 2. Connect to the database using the command: connect to database_alias

where database_alias is the name of the database to which you want to connect.

Step 3. Enter the following commands in the Command Center or the command line processor:
