Re: [PyDB2-discuss] connection issue

[Dan S. <de...@gm...>]

David:

You have to catalog the server node and database first, then pass the
name of the cataloged database as the first argument. Your acid test
here is if you can connect to the database from the DB2 command line,
you will be able to connect to the same database from PyDB2.

See http://ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/0301chong/0301chong2.html
for a reasonable explanation of the commands and libraries involved.

Something like:

C:\> db2 catalog tcpip node btvmanr remote btvmanr.btv.ibm.com server 446
C:\> db2 catalog database BYDB2MFG at node btvmanr authentication dcs

... should do the trick.
