You can change existing properties and create DB2 access services using one of two methods:
Using DirectConnect Manager
If you use DirectConnect Manager, which is supported on Windows, Linux, and UNIX platforms, you can configure DB2 access service properties and dynamically change many properties without stopping and starting the server. DirectConnect Manager is easier to use, provides you with a GUI interface, and performs error checking. For information about using DirectConnect Manager, see the DirectConnect Manager online help.
Manually editing the DB2 access service library configuration file that resides on the DirectConnect server
If you edit the configuration file, you must stop and restart the server for the changes to take effect. The instructions in this chapter describe how to edit the DB2 UDB access service library configuration file.
The DB2 UDB access service library uses some configuration information from the server. For instructions about configuring DirectConnect server properties, see the Enterprise Connect Data Access and Mainframe Connect Server Administration Guide.
