BPCIN0083E The server could not connect to the remote database. Verify that the port is correct and that the database is running on the remote server. Also verify that the internet protocol connection between the server and remote database is compatible.

Explanation

The server could not connect to the remote database. The reason for this issue can be:
  • The port specified does not match the port in the Db2 configuration file for the remote database
  • The database is not running on the remote server
  • The internet protocol connection between the server and remote database is not compatible

Action

Verify that the remote database port is correct and that the database is started. Run the installation program again. To verify the database port, run the following command from a command window: db2 get dbm cfg. This command opens the Db2 database manager configuration file. Search for "SVCENAME." Open the services file in this directory:
  • For the Windows operating system, see %WINDOWS%\system32\drivers\etc\services.
  • For the UNIX or Linux operating system, see /etc/services.
