Starting and Configuring the Client
This section provides information about starting, stopping, and configuring
the client. See the online Help for complete instructions about defining hosts
and creating subsystem connections.
Starting the Client
To start the client, double-click the product icon from the PATROL
DB-Admin Client OS390 program group. The PATROL Database
Administration window appears.
To stop the client, make the PATROL Database Administration window
active. Then, choose
Exit from the File menu.
Configuring the Client
After you install the server and the client, you must configure the client
before you can use the product. Start the client and then perform the
following configuration tasks:
• define hosts or servers
A host or server is the OS/390 system that performs the MVS Server
operations. Each host or server has both an MVS Server and at least one
DB2 subsystem installed on it. Identifying an available host or server to
the client is called defining a host or server.
You must define at least one host or server to use the Database
Administration products. You should define a separate host or server for
each system that you want to use as a server for the Database
Administration products.
• create subsystem connections
When you start a connection, you use a subsystem connection to specify
the details for that connection. For DB2 for OS/390 connections, the
subsystem connection specifies which Database Administration product,
host, DB2 subsystem, and TSO user ID to use during that connection.
