Quick Beginnings for DB2 Universal Database for UNIX

Chapter 27. Using the Client Configuration Assistant

Use the information in this section to use the Client Configuration Assistant (CCA) to perform administration tasks on OS/2 and Windows 32-bit operating systems.

When you install the DB2 server, if your protocols are set up and configured, DB2 server communications are automatically configured to allow DB2 to accept requests from remote clients.

The CCA can be installed on OS/2 and Windows 32-bit operating systems. If it is not installed on your system, you can rerun the setup program and select to install the CCA.

With the CCA, you can:

• Configure database connections that applications can use.
• Update or delete existing configured database connections.
• Display the information for existing configured connections.
• Test a connection to a database.
• Enable or disable databases to be configured as CLI or ODBC data sources.
• Import or export client profiles which contain information for the setup of a client.
• Update client configuration settings.
• Discover remote databases (if enabled).
• Bind user applications and utilities to databases.
• Change your password.
