Starting the Remote Database TCP\IP Service (Optional)

If your installation will have separate IBM i machines for the Enterprise Server and the Data Server, you will need to start the remote database TCP/IP service on the Enterprise Server.

To start the remote database TCP/IP service:

1. Enter this command:

   STRTCPSVR SERVER(*EDRSQL)
   

2. In order to change the attribute of this server to autostart when TCPIP starts, you will need to use IBM i Navigator from a Microsoft Windows client:

   1. Open the node for your IBM i machine.

   2. Open the Network node.

   3. Open the Servers node.

   4. Double click on TCPIP.

      A list of TCPIP servers is displayed in the right hand pane.

   5. Right click on EDRSQL, select Properties, and enable the option Start when TCP\IP Starts.

      Tip: You can also start and stop this server from this screen.
