Create a DB2 Data Source on Windows Systems

When using ODBC, you can create a DB2 data source for the DB2 wire protocol driver.

To create the DB2 data source

1. Select Programs, Administrative Tools, Data Sources (ODBC) to access the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
2. Click the System DSN tab and click Add.
3. Scroll down and select SiteMinder DB2 Wire Protocol and click Finish.
4. In the ODBC DB2 Wire Protocol Driver Setup dialog, under the General tab, do the following:
   1. In the Data Source Name field, enter any name you want.

      Example: SiteMinder DB2 Wire Data Source

   2. (Optional) In the Description field, enter a description of the DB2 wire protocol data source.
   3. In the IP Address field, enter the IP Address where the DB2 database is installed.
   4. In the Tcp Port field, enter the port number where DB2 is listening on the machine.
   5. Click Test Connect.

      The connection is tested.

5. Click OK.

   The ODBC DB2 Wire Protocol Driver Setup dialog closes, the selections are saved, and the DB2 data source is created on a Windows System.

Note: You can now configure SiteMinder to use the data source that you created.
