Richard Correct me if I am undertanding it correctly. If the DB2 server is running on (default port 50000) cline tmachine then in my client application, I need not specify the port number.
But I may or maynot use the port number (50000) in my Connection URL string. Now When I use String url = "jdbc:db2://100.3.13.34:50000/sample"; /** with port number , it doesnot work ***/ String url = "jdbc:db2://100.3.13.34/sample"; /** without it works ***/ There are two things that are bugging me: 1. Why specifying portnumber doesnot work (though I understand it is not necessary) 2. In my earlier experience, I need to specify the port number that is not 50000 but some other number...Is it because it is not the default port number that I need to specify it in my Connection string. Please reply me if you think I have a point...

You use it in 'catalog tcpip node' command on client, then you execute 'catalog database...as...at node ...' on the client machine and then use the new database name and ip of the client machine. You don't need the port number, DB2 client knows it. Richard. -- "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you.
