Allows a CLI application
to set the client workstation name that is sent to a database through DB2 Connect™ or DB2® database products. Applications that do not
specify the client workstation name by default can use this keyword
to provide this information.
- db2cli.ini keyword syntax:
- ClientWrkStnName = workstation name
- Default setting:
- In DB2 Version 9.7 Fix pack 6 and later
fix packs, if the ClientWrkStnName keyword is
not specified, a default value that consists of the host name is used.
The host name is obtained by calling the gethostname() function.
If the host name is not configured or an error is encountered during
the gethostname() function call, no value for theClientWrkStnName keyword
is sent to the server.
- Applicable when:
- Connected to a database using DB2 Connect or DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
- Equivalent environment or connection attribute:
- SQL_ATTR_INFO_WRKSTNNAME
- Usage notes:
-
Note the following conditions:
- Some servers might not be able to handle the entire length of
the value and might truncate it.
- DB2 for z/OS® and OS/390® servers support a length
of up to 18 characters.
- In DB2 Version
9.7 Fix Pack 6 and later fix packs, CLI applications
can set the ClientWrkStnName keyword on DB2 for i V6R1
and later servers. DB2 for i servers
support a length of up to 255 characters.
- To ensure that the data is converted correctly when transmitted
to a host system, use only the characters A - Z and 0 - 9 and the
underscore (_) or period (.).
