The Configuration Assistant (CA) tool is available with DB2 database systems and IBM Data Server Clients running on Windows and Linux. You can use the CA to configure access to your databases residing on Linux, UNIX, and Windows. You can also use the Command Line Processor (CLP) to perform this task on all operating systems.

DB2 database systems and DB2 clients provide support for connections to ODBC data sources using the DB2 Call Level Interface (CLI). Use the CA or the CLP to register ODBC data sources.

Use the Command Line Processor (CLP) to configure access to DB2 databases, or to configure access to host and DB2 for i5/OS databases.

DB2 database systems and DB2 clients provide support for connections to ODBC data sources using the DB2 Call Level Interface (CLI). Use the CLP to register ODBC data sources.

To access a remote DB2 database, you must have a DB2 database product or the IBM Data Server Client installed on your system. Depending on the configuration of your DB2 database system, there are a number of ways to install and configure the clients such as directly from the CD or using a response file to automate the installation. DB2 database products include client functionality, therefore no additional software needs to be installed.

On Windows and Linux operating systems, DB2 database systems and IBM Data Server Client include the Configuration Assistant (CA) tool. Use the CA to configure access to DB2 databases on DB2 database systems for Linux, UNIX, and Windows. You can also use the Command Line Processor (CLP) on any operating system to perform the same task.
