Usage notes
The DCS directory is created
the first time that the
CATALOG DCS DATABASE command
is invoked. It is maintained on the path/drive where
DB2® was
installed, and provides information about host databases that the
workstation can access if the DB2 Connect™ program has been installed. The host databases can be:
- DB2 databases on OS/390® and z/OS® host
- DB2 databases on System i® hosts
- DB2 databases on VSE &
VM hosts
