Installation Requirements for Windows

The following connector and agent are necessary to administer the DB2 Universal Database:

• DB2 UDB Connector must be installed.
• To administer DB2 UDB authentication, an appropriate CA IdentityMinder Connector for the underlying operating system of DB2 UDB Server installation must be installed on the Provisioning Server. Such options include, but are not limited to the NT Connector, ETC Connector, NIS Connector and the ADS Connector.
• DB2 UDB Administration Client must already be installed where the DB2 UDB Connector will be installed.

  Note: You must install the 32-bit version of the DB Connect client package.

• TCP/IP must be one of the supported communication protocols of the DB2 UDB installation when DB2 UDB server is at a remote location.
• TCP/IP Communication must be set up for the DB2 UDB Instance on DB2 UDB Server using Control Center and have either a TCP/IP Service Name or Port Number assigned (default to 50000) when the DB2 UDB server is at a remote location.
• Database Manager Instance should be started on the DB2 UDB Server.

Note: The DB2 UDB Connector supports any DB2 UDB server installations that the DB2 UDB Administrative Client for Window supports, but tests have been done only with DB2 UDB server installations on Windows 2000 and AIX.
