The db2cli.ini file is an ASCII file which initializes the DB2® Call Level Interface (CLI) configuration.
This file can be found in different directories depending on whether the ODBC Driver Manager is used, the type of data source names (DSN) used, and whether the DB2CLIINIPATH registry variable is set.
When the ODBC Driver Manager is used to configure a user DSN on Windows operating systems, the db2cli.ini file is created in Documents and Settings\User Name where User Name represents the name of the user directory.
You can use the DB2CLIINIPATH registry variable to specify a different location for the file.
In Version 9.7 Fix Pack 3 and later, the db2cli.ini.sample sample configuration file is shipped to help you get started. The location of the sample configuration file depends on your driver type and platform. For information about the location of the db2cli.ini.sample file, see the topic about the db2cli.ini file.
