After installation, establish the connection between DB2 Connect and your host or iSeries database system. You can use the Configuration Assistant to configure host or iSeries databases.

Bind the programs and utilities provided with DB2 Connect to your host or iSeries database.

Test the connection.

Install and configure a DB2 client. Use this workstation to test connectivity from the DB2 client to host and iSeries database servers, as well as to test applications that use this connectivity.

Use the Configuration Assistant to connect the client to the host or iSeries system through DB2 Connect.

Install DB2 clients on all end-user workstations that will use applications that connect to host and iSeries database servers.

You are now ready to use DB2 Connect with all your applications. Workstations that will be used for application development should have the DB2 Application Development Client installed.
