Add the DB2 Server as a New System

The first step in cataloging a DB2 database is adding the DB2 server as a new system on the proxy machine.

Note: You must have the DB2 client software installed on the proxy machine to perform this procedure.

To add a DB2 server as a new system

1. Open the DB2 Control Center Application.
2. Right-click the All Systems node (DB2 8.2 or higher) or the Systems node (DB2 8.1) in the Object Tree and click Add.

   The Add System dialog opens.

3. Enter the following information:

   System Name

   The name of the host where the DB2 server is installed

   Node Name

   Enter a name for the node (8 characters or less).

4. Click OK.

   The DB2 server is added as a new system.
