Step 1. Select the Manually con®gure a connection to a DB2 database radio button and click on the Next push button.

If you are not using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), this tab will not be shown, skip this step and go to Step 3.

Step 2. Select the radio button that corresponds to the location where you would like your DB2 directories to be maintained.

vIf you would like to maintain the DB2 directories locally, select the Add database to your local machine radio button and click on the Next push button.

vIf you would like to maintain the DB2 directories globally at an LDAP server, select the Add database using LDAP radio button and click on the Next push button.

Step 3. Select the radio button that corresponds to the protocol that you want to use from the Protocol list and click on the Next push button.

Step 4. Enter the required communication protocol parameters and click on the Next push button. For more information, click on the Help push button.

Step 5. Enter the database alias name of the remote database that you want to add in the Database name ®eld and a local database alias name in the Database alias ®eld. Add a comment that describes this database in the Comment ®eld and click on the Next push button.

If you are adding a database that resides on a host or AS/400 system, the Database name ®eld will appear as follows:

OS/390 or MVS

Location name

AS/400

RDB name

VM or VSE

DBNAME

When a database is created on the remote server, if a database alias is not speci®ed during database creation, the database is created with a database alias=database_name; otherwise, the database alias is the name that was speci®ed when the database was created.

Step 6. Register this database as an ODBC data source.

a.Ensure that the Register this database for ODBC check box is selected.

b.Select the radio button that describes how you would like to register this database:
