Chapter 4. Connecting DB2 for AS/400 in a DRDA Network Using TCP/IP

This chapter provides a summary of information contained in AS/400e Distributed Database Programming, which tells you how to set up the AS/400:

• As an DRDA application requester using outbound TCP/IP communications

• As an DRDA application server using inbound TCP/IP communications.

The principles are the same as those described in Chapter 3. "Connecting DB2 for AS/400 in a DRDA Network Using SNA", but the communications configuration steps are much simpler.

Notes:

1. For DRDA communications using TCP/IP the default port number for database connections is 446.

2. The DB2 for AS/400 Version 4 Release 2 implementation does not support a two-phase commit (distributed unit of work) over TCP/IP communications.
