HI every one...

Can anyone explain me wat does this statement represents...

"catalog tcpip node dbserver1node remote db2unixhost server db2server1"


HOw to find out following things for Connecting DB2 database.

Host name where the DB2 database server resides
Node name
Database name
Database alias
Database user id and password
Service name from the /etc/services file on client and host


Thanks in advance

See the following for the catalog statement:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...e/r0001944.htm

For the rest:
1) host name is assigned by the Network Administrator
2) Node name is arbitrary and created in the catalog statement above
3) database name is assigned by the DBA
4) Database alias is assigned during a different statement: CATALOG DATABASE (see manual)
5) username and passwords are assigned by the DBA
6) Service name is assigned by the DBA

HTH
