For database name (

5 ), determine the name of the host database. This is

the LOCATION NAME for OS/390 or MVS, the RDB_NAME for VM or
VSE, or a relational database name for AS/400.

For mode name (

6 and 15 ), usually the default IBMDRB is sufficient.

For remote network address (

8 ), determine the controller address or local

adapter address of the target host or AS/400 system.

Determine the local control point name (

10 ) of the DB2 Connect

workstation. This is usually the same as the PU name for the system.

Determine the local LU name to be used by DB2 Connect (

11 ). If you

use a Syncpoint Manager to manage multisite updates (two-phase
commit), the local LU should be the LU used for the SPM. In this case,
that LU cannot also be the Control Point LU.

For local LU alias (

12 ), you usually use the same value as for the local

LU name (

11 ).

10.

For local node or node ID (

13 plus 14 ), determine the IDBLK and

IDNUM of the DB2 Connect workstation. The default value should be
correct.

11.

For symbolic destination name (

16 ), choose a suitable value.

12.

For (remote) transaction program (TP) name (

17 ), it is recommended that

you use the defaults listed in the worksheet.

13.

Leave the other items blank for now (

18 to 21 ).
