The Client Con®guration Assistant may be unable to detect a remote system if:

vThe Administration Server is not running on the remote system.

vThe Discovery function times out. By default, the Discovery function will search the network for 40 seconds; this may not be long enough to detect the remote system. You can set the DB2DISCOVERYTIME registry variable to specify a longer period of time.

vThe network that the Discovery request is running on is con®gured so that the Discovery request does not reach the remote system desired.

vYou are using NetBIOS as the Discovery protocol. You may need to set the DB2NBDISCOVERRCVBUFS registry variable to a larger value to enable the client to receive more concurrent Discovery replies.

For more information, refer to the Administration Guide.

If the system that you want to add is still not listed, it can be added to the list of systems by performing the following steps:

a.Click on the Add System push button

b.Enter the required communication protocol parameters for the remote Administration Server and click on OK. A new system is added. For more information, click on the Help push button.

c.Select the database that you want to add and click on the Next push button.

Step 4. You are presented with a list of systems, instances, and databases.

Select the database that you want to add to your system.

Step 5. Select the type of connection that you want to make to the host or AS/400 database:

vTo make a connection through a DB2 Connect gateway, select the Connect to the server via the gateway radio button.

vTo make a direct connection, select the Connect directly to the server radio button.

Step 6. Click on the Next push button.

Step 7. Enter a local database alias name in the Database alias ®eld and add a comment that describes this database in the Comment ®eld. Click on the Next push button.

If you do not specify a database alias name, the default will be the same as the remote database alias name.
