Verifying Network Connectivity Under UNIX

---

This section describes verifying your connectivity on UNIX platforms.

To verify network connectivity

Open a UNIX shell.
Source the file siebenv.csh.
Enter the following command:

DB2 connect to database_alias user user_ID using password

where user_ID is a valid user name on DB2 and password is the appropriate password for that user name.

If your connection is valid, database connection information appears; for example:

Database Connection Information
Database server = DB2 OS/390 7.1.1
SQL authorization ID = SADMIN
Local database alias = PS01

If the connection is not valid, verify the configuration.
To close the connection, enter the following command:

db2 terminate

The preceding commands should result in the display of the application version and any comments. The display should also indicate whether or not connectivity through the call-level interface (CLI) layer was set up correctly. Error messages at this point indicate that problems exist downstream from the CLI layer to the database, or that problems exist in the user/password combination or SSEROLE privileges for that user.
