Quick Beginnings for DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition

Chapter 25. Using the Control Center to Configure Server Communications

The information in this section describes how to use the Control Center to configure communications on the server. To configure an Administration Server for communications, go to Chapter 26. Using the Command Line Processor to Configure the DB2 Connect Server to Accept Clients.

The Control Center is a graphical tool available on OS/2 and Windows 32-bit operating systems. Use the Control Center's setup communications function to configure communications on the server. The Control Center allows you to:

• Display the protocols and configuration parameters that a server instance is configured to use.

• Maintain the configured protocols:

  • You can modify the parameter values of a configured protocol.

  • You can add or delete a protocol.

    When you add support for a new protocol to the server system, the setup communications function detects and generates server instance parameter values for the new protocol; you can accept or modify them before use. When you remove support for an existing protocol from the server system, the setup communications function detects the protocol that has been removed and disables its use by the server instance.

    You can add a protocol that has not been detected, however, you must supply all parameter values before you proceed.

The setup communications function can be used to maintain communications of both local and remote server instances.
