Hi,
I am trying to add remote server ( on solaris) to control center (on win2000) and getting this error.

SQL30081N A communication error has been detected. Communication
protocol
being used: "TCP/IP". Communication API being used: "SOCKETS".
Location
where the error was detected: "". Communication function detecting the
error: "gethostbyname". Protocol specific error code(s): "*", "11004",
"*". SQLSTATE=08001

quick response is appreciated.

check if registry variable DB2COMM is set to tcpip at server. ifnot, set it to tcpip

Hi,

DB2COMM is set to TCPIP and also
sevice port and interrupt port are are set in services file correcty at server and also at client.

DB2 version is 8.1
I am able to connect to remote database using command line but not able to add it to control center.

probably you have used as system name (in cc) a name that is not known
it should be
- the ip address of target server
- known hostname
- entry in hosts file in client station pointing to ip of target server
This should do (I hope)

Hi,

I am using the correct hostname.
but when i enter the system name it is not taking full name as there is limit on the field size for system name field.

and when i give ip address in place of system name it is giving that error.

do we need to have entry in the host file for the target server?
I was able to configure database using configuration assistant but still getting error while adding node thru control center.

ur help is appreciated.
