RE: DB2 Connect

DB2 Connect is required if you are going to have clients (websphere
server on NT or ...) connect to the 400's DB2 database.  Connect is
different from ops nav - Ops nav is 400 specific - DB2 will provide
similar (not the same UI unfortunately) functionality as far as the
support of the DB is concerned.  We use Connect as well as DB2 on NT
quite a bit and there are something I like a lot about it, but there are
some things that they did better on the 400, but some of that may be we
know it better so that makes it better  ;-).

I wish there was a better way to do some of the connections - sometimes
the added complexity seems a bit much.  But then this is a new component
world!

  What is DB2 Connect?  What functionality does it add over Ops Nav?  Is
it
a nicety or a required piece in some instances?  How does Websphere play
w/
DB2 Connect (if at all)?  At 450MB it's a hefty install.

  TIA.
