DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Binding database utilities on DB2 Connect™

Before you begin

You must bind the database utilities (import, export, reorg, the Command Line Processor) and CLI bind files to each database before they can be used with that database. In a network environment, if you are using multiple clients that use different versions or service levels of DB2®, you must bind the utilities once for each version of DB2 used.

Binding a utility creates a package, which is an object that includes all of the information that is needed to process specific SQL statements from a single source file.

The bind files are grouped together in different .lst files in the bnd directory, under the installation directory (typically sqllib for Windows). Each file is specific to a server.
