IBM GC09-2830-00 manual Conguring the TCP/IP Connection, Verify the host address or the host name

Con®guring the TCP/IP Connection

Use the manual steps in this section to complete the con®guration and make the connection.

Complete the Worksheet: Complete a copy of the example worksheet for each TCP/IP host:

1.Fill in the values to be used for the TCP/IP address and hostname of the DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 host (items 8 and 9).

2.Fill in the values to be used for the TCP/IP address and hostname of the DB2 Connect workstation (items 18 and 19).

3.Determine the port number or service name to be used for the connection (items 10 and 11, or 20 and 21).

4.Determine the LOCATION NAME of the DB2 for OS/390 database server to which you wish to connect.

5.Determine the values to be used for user ID and PASSWORD when connecting to the host database.

Note that some additional planning considerations may apply, for example if you are using DCE. See the DB2 Connect User's Guide.

Update the DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 Host: At your OS/390 host:

1.Verify the host address or the host name.

2.Verify the port number or the service name.

3.Update the services ®le with the correct port number and service name if necessary.

4.Update the hosts ®le (or the Domain Name Server used by the DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 system) with the hostname and IP address of the DB2 Connect workstation if necessary.

5.Ensure the new de®nitions are active before attempting to test the connection. Refer to your host network administrator or change control staff if necessary.

6.Check with the DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 administrator that you have a valid user ID, password, and database LOCATION NAME.

7.PING the DB2 Connect workstation, using the correct port number if that option is supported by TCP/IP on the host system. For example:

ping remote_host_name -pport_number

Update the DB2 Connect Con®guration: At a command line prompt, issue the following command to update the Database Manager Con®guration:

db2 update dbm config using TM_DATABASE 1st_conn

where TM_DATABASE can have one of the following settings:
