Cataloging remote DB2 database for RRDI using Db2 client
Hi All
I am in the process of setting up CLM 5.0.2 along with RRDI 5.0.2 for one of our clients. Here database will be DB2 and RRDI will be on a separate server. All Windows 64 bit installation.
I see that in order to have RRDI talk to a remote DB2 database, we need to have a 32-bit DB2 client installed on the RRDI server and then catalog the remote database.

But we cannot install a 32-bit DB2 client on a 64-bit machine.
However DB2 server installation contains both 32-bit as well as 64bit libraries.
Will it be sufficient if I install DB2 64-bit server also on the RRDI server and then catalog the remote DB2 database?
Is there any other steps involved other that the ones mentioned in the above link in case if I am installing DB2 64 bit server on the RRDI server ( not DB2 client) and if the RRDI server is a Windows 2012 server?
Thanks

Accepted answer
you are right, the DB2 64bit installation (both client and server) also contains the 32bit libraries and can be used with RRDI.
The link you provide is for Linux so many of the steps are OS specifics.
On Windows the main things that you need to do are the CATALOG TCPIP NODE and the CATALOG DB instructions listed in the article.
