I am trying to establish a DB2 ODBC connection from my system. I installed the DB2 driver from IBM and i tried creating a system DSN. I got the following options: Data Source Name, Database Alias (Empty Drop down along with a Add button), Description. I do not know where to enter the IP of the server and the database name. When i click on the Add button, I get the textboxes to enter the UserID and Password. I tried entering them and a system DSN was created. I clicked on the DSN that was created and selected Configure button, to test the connection. It asked me to enter the password. When i entered the password and clicked on Connect button, I get a message stating that SQL1013N The Database alias name or database name "" cannot be found. SQLSTATE = 42705
I am not supposed to install DB2 on my machine. Please help me in resolving this.
