Download DB2 Version 8 Connectivity Cheat Sheet
The purpose of this article is to provide quick and easy instructions for setting up connectivity between IBM ® DB2 ® Universal Database TM for Linux, UNIX ® and Windows ® V8 clients and DB2 servers using DB2 commands. The DB2 servers can be -- for this article -- DB2 UDB for Linux, UNIX and Windows version 8, DB2 UDB for z/OS TM version 8 or DB2 for iSeries ® 5.2. Note that though we are using the latest versions of DB2 UDB in the different platforms, the same instructions can apply to other DB2 UDB versions.
In case you've followed all the instructions and the connection isn't working, I've included some things to check to help you determine what the problem is as well as typical error messages.
The Configuration Assistant (CA) GUI tool, formerly known as the Client Configuration Assistant (CCA), can be used on either Windows or UNIX platforms as an easy graphical interface for establishing connectivity. However, if you know the actual DB2 commands that are executed under the covers by the CA Tool, you will have a better understanding of what is required when connecting DB2 clients to DB2 servers. Moreover, the commands can always be saved in a script that can be easily distributed to any DB2 client that requires the same connectivity setup. For completeness, however, I will include the steps to follow using the Configuration Assistant in the last section of this article.
The tables below show the steps for setting up connectivity using the DB2 Command Line Processor (CLP). Only "basic" command options will be shown. With DB2 Version 8, TCPIP is the only protocol supported. If you'd like to print off a slimmed down version of these charts to keep handy at your desk, go to the download section at the end of the article.
We'll examine five common scenarios where DB2 UDB for Linux, UNIX and Windows is always the client. For the scenarios where DB2 UDB for Linux, UNIX and Windows is the server (other than scenario 1), stay tuned for Part 2 of this article.

Download How Linux Works
How Linux Works describes the inside of the Linux system for systems administrators, whether they maintain an extensive network in the office or one Linux box at home. Some books try to give you copy-and-paste instructions for how to deal with every single system issue that may arise, but How Linux Works actually shows you how the Linux system functions so that you can come up with your own solutions. After a guided tour of filesystems, the boot sequence, system management basics, and networking, author Brian Ward delves into open-ended topics such as development tools, custom kernels, and buying hardware, all from an administrator’s point of view. With a mixture of background theory and real-world examples, this book shows both “how” to administer Linux, and “why” each particular technique works, so that you will know how to make Linux work for you.

Download Linux in a Nutshell, Fourth Edition
Linux in a Nutshell, now in its fourth edition, has won awards in the Linux community as the most indispensable book about Linux. It is an essential desktop reference for the commands that users of Linux utilize every day, with the depth of information and the practical, succinct “In a Nutshell” format that made the previous editions so popular.
Comprehensive but concise, Linux in a Nutshell covers all substantial user, programming, administration, and networking commands for the most common Linux distributions. It’s several quick references rolled into one: sed, gawk, RCS, CVS, vi, Emacs, bash, tcsh, regular expressions, package management, bootloaders, and desktop environments are all covered in this clear, to-the-point volume, along with core command-line utilities.
The fourth edition continues to track the major changes in bootloaders, the GNOME and KDE desktops, and general Unix commands. Several commands related to CDs and music reflect the evolution of multimedia on Linux. Coverage has been added for GRUB, which has become the default bootloader on several Linux distributions, and for vim, the popular and feature-loaded extension to vi. The addition of several new options to the iptables firewall command and new commands related to DNSSEC and ssh show the book’s value as a security tool. With this book, you no longer have to grope through long manpages and info documents for the information you need; you’ll find it here in clear language and an easy-to-read format.

Download Linux Appliance Design: A Hands-On Guide to Building Linux Appliances
Linux appliances are computers that serve a single, well-defined purpose. Modern appliances are complex machines, with processors, operating systems, and application software. For example, the Tivo is essentially a Linux-based computer with a single purpose: recording television. While there are books that tell readers how to run Linux on embedded hardware and books on how to build a Linux application, Linux Appliance Design is the first book to demonstrate how to merge the two to create a Linux appliance. Programmers will learn how to build backend daemons, handle asynchronous events, and connect various user interfaces (including web, framebuffers, infared control, SNMP, and front panels) to these processes for remote configuration and control. Linux Appliance Design also introduces the Runtime Access Protocol, which provides a uniform mechanism for user interfaces to communicate with daemons. The accompanying CD includes a prototype appliance - a home alarm system - that supports the book’s lessons. The prototype is written using a liberal BSD style license, which allows readers to use and modify the code used in the prototype.

Learning Red Hat Linux walks the reader through the process of installing, configuring, and using Red Hat Linux 6 and some of its most popular applications. Networking coverage includes essential local area network configuration, plus excellent coverage of Samba setup and the process of establishing a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection to the Internet. The book would be better with some information on setting up a local Domain Name Service (DNS) server to improve Internet connectivity, but what’s here is commendable. The author includes basic coverage of the Apache Web server, plus sendmail and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
Learning Red Hat Linux emphasizes the Linux command line for system management tasks, explaining all the vital low-level commands as well as configuration aids like linuxconf. Popular graphical applications are explored too, including ApplixWare, StarOffice, and the WordPerfect suite. Bill McCarty exhibits plenty of patience in his writing and organizational styles, assuming no knowledge of Unix on the part of his readers. This book includes lots of annotated tables that explain the features in various programs, and many sections have a procedural format that allows you to follow along on your own Linux machine. –David Wall
Topics covered: Red Hat Linux 6, preinstallation planning, essential command-line tools, X Windows, Gnome, the K Desktop Environment (KDE), and networking.

Written by an experienced Linux thin client network designer and implementer, this book for System Administrators covers the concepts of thin client networks and design issues for implementations of various sizes, followed by step-by-step HOW-TOs for all elements of implementing a thin client network based on open-source software. A thin, or lean client network is a client-server architecture where client computers depend primarily on a central server for processing activities. The thin clients focus on passing input to remote services and receiving and displaying the output; thin clients aren’t as much about the hardware or software as about the design. With all the information you need to understand how the technology works, this book will help you evaluate how a Linux thin client network fits into your organization and make informed choices on the hardware and software needed to design and implement a stable work environment that meets the needs of your organization, large or small.
