Remote database access

On Windows and Linux operating systems, DB2 database systems and the DB2 Client include the Configuration Assistant (CA) tool. Use the CA to configure access to DB2 databases, or to host and DB2 UDB for iSeries databases. You can also use the Command Line Processor (CLP) on any operating system to perform the same task.

DB2 database systems and DB2 clients provide support for connections to ODBC data sources using the DB2 Call Level Interface (CLI). Use the CA or the CLP to register ODBC data sources.

To access a remote DB2 database, you must have a DB2 client installed on your system. Depending on the configuration of your DB2 database system, there are a number of ways to install and configure DB2 clients such as directly from the CD, or using a response file to automate the installation. DB2 database products include the DB2 Client functionality, therefore no additional software needs to be installed.
