Specifying the server
1. On the Select the computer page, specify the server you want to back up. Use the hostname or IP address of the target DB2 Server to back up.
It can be on a different subnet.
The hostname or IP address must be the same as the one used in the DB2 catalog command.
By default, DS-Client uses the current user’s logon credentials to connect to the selected computer.
2. If you need to specify alternate network credentials, select the Ask for Network Credentials check box.
By default, the Ask for database credentials check box is selected and you are required to supply those credentials to the DB2 database.
3. Click Next.
4. If you selected Ask for Network Credentials, the Enter Network Credentials dialog box appears. Type a valid user name and password for the selected computer, and then click OK.
IMPORTANT: The network credentials must also be valid for the network protocol you select to dump the database file. They also must have “read” and “write” privileges for the dump path you select.
5. In the Enter Database Credentials dialog box, type a valid user name and password for the database server:
a) In the User Name box, type a valid database user name on the DB2 database server you want to back up.
b) In the Password box, type the corresponding password.
c) In the Node Name box, type the local alias of the target DB2 server node. This is the name on the DS-Client computer that is used to identify that node.
d) In the Port Number box, type the TCP/IP port number of the DB2 Server Database Manager instance.
e) In the DB2 Client Instance box, type the local DB2 instance name installed on the DS-Client computer.
f) Click OK.
