binddb2pkg

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.
