Setting Up and Testing Connectivity to a Remote DB2 Source or Target
Setting Up and Testing Connectivity to a Remote DB2 Source or Target
If the DB2 data source or target is on a remote system, PowerExchange and PowerCenter must be able to communicate with the PowerExchange Listener on that remote system.
To set up and test connectivity to a remote DB2 source or target:
On the systems where the PowerExchange Navigator, PowerCenter Client, and PowerCenter Integration Service run, use the
ping
command to test network access to the remote system with the DB2 source or target.
Add the NODE statement to the dbmover.cfg file on each PowerExchange and PowerCenter system to identify the remote PowerExchange Listener and its port:
NODE=(
node_name
,TCPIP,
ipaddress_or_hostname
,
port_number
)
To determine the port number, consult with the person in your organization who installed the PowerExchange Listener on the remote system.
Run the DTLREXE ping utility on the local PowerExchange system to test connectivity to the remote PowerExchange Listener that you defined in the NODE statement.
