Binds IBM® DB2® databases with the DataDirect
drivers used by Rational® ClearQuest®.
You must run this command once for each physical DB2 database before Rational ClearQuest clients
connect to the database. You should also run this command if you are
upgrading an existing user database to a version of Rational ClearQuest that
includes an updated version of the DataDirect driver.
Synopsis
- binddb2pkg server database DB2_admin password [port ]
Description
The DataDirect driver that is
used by Rational ClearQuest to connect to DB2 databases requires that a number
of DB2 packages be created and
bound to the database before you use them. The first Rational ClearQuest connection
to a DB2 database binds these
packages. However, unless all DB2 users
who connect to the database have database administrator privileges,
the automatic binding does not work. If all of Rational ClearQuest users
of DB2 do not have database
administrator privileges, you must run the command before connecting
to the database from Rational ClearQuest.
This command must be run for every DB2 database
that Rational ClearQuest uses.
