Catalog the TCP/IP node
To catalog the TCP/IP node, follow these steps on the WebSphere Commerce node:
1. Ensure that DB2 Server or Administration Client is installed on the WebSphere Commerce node.
2. Ensure that DB2 Server is installed on the remote DB2 Server node.
3. Open a DB2 command prompt on the WebSphere Commerce node.
4. From a DB2 command window, type the following command:
db2 catalog tcpip node node_name remote server_name server port_number
For example:
db2 catalog tcpip node db2win1 remote cmw2kpro2 server 50000
port_number is the DB2 instance connection port found on the DB2 Server node in the c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\services file.
Note: In our example, the connection port for the DB2 Server was 50001. The service name in our services file looked like:
db2c_DB2 50001/tcp
Alternatively, a service name can be used in place of the port number. If a service name is used, the port and service name must be added to the DB2 client system services file so that it can resolve where to find the system.
