Problem IC72527
|
Status: Closed |
DB2CLI REGISTERDSN ADD COMMAND IS NOT REGISTERING DATA SOURCES FROM THE DB2DSDRIVER.CFG FOR INSTANCE BASED CLIENTS |
| product: |
DB2 CONNECT / DB2CONNCT / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
DB2 v9.7 FP3 supports the db2dsdriver.cfg file for instance
based clients. This includes the IBM Data Server Client and IBM
Data Server Runtime Client.
The "db2cli registerdsn -add" command is still currently only
working with the IBM Data Server Driver, and so data sources are
not automatically being registered on Windows from the
db2dsdriver.cfg file for instance based clients.
That same command however does work with the db2cli.ini file for
either instance based clients or the IBM Data Server Driver. |
