IBM GC09-2830-00 manual Conguration Steps

vChange your server password.

The CCA provides three methods to set up a database connection to a server:

vUsing a pro®le.

vSearching the network for databases.

vManually entering database and communication protocol information for a server.

When you add a database using this con®guration method, the Client Con®guration Assistant will generate a default node name for the server where the database resides.

Con®guration Steps

To con®gure your workstation to access a host or AS/400 database, perform the following steps:

Step 1. Log on to the system with a valid DB2 user ID. For more information, see ªAppendix F. Naming Rulesº on page 165.

If you are adding a database to a system that has a DB2 Connect server product installed, log on to this system as a user with System Administrative (SYSADM) or System Controller (SYSCTRL) authority on the instance. For more information, see ªWorking with the System Administrative Groupº on page 138.

This restriction is controlled by the catalog_noauth database manager con®guration parameter. For more information, refer to the Administration Guide.

Step 2. Start the CCA. For more information, see ªStarting the Client

Con®guration Assistantº on page 133.

The Welcome window opens each time you start the CCA, until you add at least one database to your client.

Step 3. Click on the Add Database or Add push button to con®gure a connection.

Go to the section that describes the con®guration method that you want to use:

vªAdding a Database Using a Pro®leº on page 59.

vªAdding a Database Using Discoveryº on page 60.

vªAdding a Database Manuallyº on page 62.
