Using a text editor

You can use a text editor to configure the service library configuration file (db2.cfg or trslu62.cfg or trstcp.cfg). The service library configuration files reside in the cfg subdirectory under the directory with the same name as the DirectConnect server.

StepsTo configure the service using a text editor

  1. Change to the cfg subdirectory of the directory with the name of the server you created. If you successfully created and started a new server, this directory contains a basic version of db2.cfg, trslu62.cfg and trstcp.cfg.

  2. At the end of the configuration file, enter a name for the service in brackets, for example:

    [db2_acs]
    
  3. Save and close the configuration file.

To make the configuration effective, you must restart the DirectConnect server. This procedure is described in the section called “Starting a DirectConnect access service.”
