Check this check box to specify that the database server you are configuring in the SDF will require the use of a QMF catalog. If this check box is unchecked, then the database server that you are configuring will not require the use of a QMF catalog.
If unchecked, none of the fields in the window are available. Only database servers that are being connected to using ODBC can be configured in the SDF to bypass the QMF catalog requirement. This check box is unavailable, if you have specified that your database server will be connected to using ODBC and the data source that you have chosen is a DB2 data source.
Select the database server that hosts the QMF catalog that you want the database server (that you are configuring in the SDF) to use.
The Catalog field lists the default and extended catalogs that are available on the database server that you selected in the Server field. Select a catalog for the database server that you are configuring in the SDF to use.
The main catalog on the server is always named <Default>. This catalog is created during the Create catalog objects and bind packages step when configuring a database server in the SDF. If you select the default catalog all users objects are stored in a single place.
Name
This field lists the name of the main catalogs and extended catalogs that are available on the database server.
CCSID
This field lists the operating system's codepage defined for this catalog that will be used when communicating with DB2.
Check this check box to require all users of the database server that you are configuring in the SDF to use the specific catalog that you have selected. By checking this check box you can ensure that users will only have access to the database server based on the resource limits that you have specified. That is because resource limits are stored in the QMF catalog for a database server.
