Named pipe connections

Named Pipes worksheet for configuring Named Pipes on the client
You must know the computer name, the instance name, and the node name of the client for which you are configuring the Named Pipes.
Cataloging a Named Pipes node from a client using the CLP
Cataloging a Named Pipes node adds an entry to the client's node directory that describes the remote node. This entry specifies the chosen alias (node_name), the remote server's workstation name (computer_name), and the instance (instance_name) that the client uses to access the remote DB2® server.
