<parameter name="CommProtocol" value="TCPIP |
                  TCPIP6 |             
    TCPIP4 |                  IPC |
                 LOCAL"/>

Default setting:

TCPIP

Usage notes:

This can be set in the db2dsdriver.cfg file for the given data source.

TCP/IP is the only protocol supported when using a File DSN. Set the option to the string TCPIP (without the slash).

IPC connectivity can be specified by setting CommProtocol to either IPC or LOCAL.

When CommProtocol = IPC | LOCAL the IPCInstance keyword must also be set.
