Connecting to a federated database

You can connect to a federated database and access remote data sources from the Data Source Explorer.
Before you can connect to a federated database in the Data Source Explorer and access the data sources and objects in that database, you must set up the federated server and configure the data sources. If necessary, you must install the data source client software and update the db2dj.ini file. You also must set the environment variables.
For information about setting up a federated server and configuring data sources, see the following topics in the DB2® Universal Database™ Information Center:
To connect to a federated database:
  1. Right-click in the Data Source Explorer and select New Connection. The New Connection wizard opens.
  2. Complete the wizard pages and click Finish to connect to the federated database.
Now, you can access the data sources in the federated database.
