DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Database CLI/ODBC configuration keyword

Specifies the database on the server to connect to when using a File DSN.

db2cli.ini keyword syntax:
Database = database name
Default setting:
None
Only applicable when:
Protocol set to TCPIP
Usage notes:
 

When using a File DSN you must use this option to specify the database on the server to connect to. This value has nothing to do with any database alias name specified on the client, it must be set to the database name on the server itself.

This setting is only considered when the Protocol option is set to TCPIP.
