Configuration file

NoteSybase recommends that you use DirectConnect Manager to configure the DB2 access service library, modify configuration property values, and create DB2 access services. Using DirectConnect Manager allows you to make changes dynamically without restarting the server.

To configure the DB2 UDB access service library and create and modify DB2 access services, you must use the DB2 access service library configuration file, which is a simple text file named db2.cfg. Use your text editor to change any DB2 access service property, and then save the configuration file. To find the location of this file within the DirectConnect for z/OS Option directory structure, see the Mainframe Connect DirectConnect for z/OS Option Installation Guide.

Each DB2 access service has a specific set of configuration properties. To configure a DB2 access service, enter site-specific values for all required properties. When you make changes to DB2 access service properties that are not required, enter only the values that differ from the default values.
