Imports connectivity configuration information from a file
known as a configuration profile. It is a non-interactive utility
that will attempt to import all the information found in the configuration
profile.
A configuration profile can contain connectivity items
such as:
- Database information (including DB2 Connect™ and ODBC information)
- Node information
- Protocol information
- database manager configuration settings
- DB2® database registry settings
- Common ODBC/CLI settings.
This utility can be used to duplicate the connectivity
information from another similar instance (that is, client instance
to client instance) that was configured previously. It is especially
useful in situations where multiple similar remote DB2 clients are to be installed, configured,
and maintained (for example, cloning or making templates of client
configurations). When cloning an instance, the profile imported should
always be a client configuration profile that contains configuration
information about one DB2 database
instance only.
