Setting discovery parameters

The discover parameter is set in the Db2® administration server (DAS) configuration file on the server system, and in the database manager configuration file on the client. In order to use the DAS effectively set the following configuration parameters by using the command line processor: discover, discover_inst, discover_db.

Procedure

Set the parameters as follows:

  • On the DAS, update the discover parameter in the DAS configuration file.
    For example, by using the following command:
    update admin cfg using discover [ DISABLE | KNOWN | SEARCH ] 

    The DAS discover configuration parameter is configurable online, which means that it is not necessary for you to stop and restart the DAS for the change to take effect.

    Note: Search discovery operates only on TCP/IP.
  • On the DAS, update the discover_inst and discover_db parameters in the DAS configuration file.
    For example, update the discover_inst and discover_db parameters by using the following commands:
    update admin cfg using discover_inst [ ENABLE | DISABLE ] 
    
    update db cfg for database_name using discover_db [ ENABLE | DISABLE ]
