    Catalog Local windows DB2 database on AIX machine

    I am using DB2 version 8 and window xp. I created my local DB2 database on my window xp machine. I want to catalog this local database on our AIX 5.3 server.
    I tried to do it using the IP address
    catalog tcpip node AWCRECSK remote 192.168.1.104 server 50000
    But I am getting TCP/IP communication error. My local IP address keep on changing.
    Please help me in cataloging local database on a AIX server.

    Catalog windows Db2 on AIX

    Hi,

    the AIX server won't be able to connect to your Windows PC if you use its IP address to catalog the node while the IP always changes every morning when you start it.
    • Catalog your windows PC as node based on its DNS entry.
    • If DNS isn't an option, use an entry in /etc/hosts of your AIX system. You'll have to update it every time when DHCP gives your PC another IP.
    • Make sure that your DB2 on windows is listenig. Try a "netstat" on a command window. There should be some line like "mywindowspc:50 000".

    Regards
