Return value

A DbDataSourceEnumerator instance, which will enable you to find visible Db2® family database server instances and databases on those instances. The DbDataSourceEnumerator instance works through the IBM® Data Server Provider for .NET and is able to find:

All databases cataloged on the local instance. In the case where there are multiple running local instances, only the instance to which the application is attached will be visible.
All visible remote database server instances and their databases. In order to be visible, the remote database server instances must have a running database administration server (DAS), which is configured to respond to Search and Known Discovery requests.

Database server instances without any databases will be visible.
