Cataloging a Content Manager database on a Windows client

If you wish to catalog a Content Manager database on a Windows client, for example if you have 2 Content Manager environments, each with a ICMNLSDB database, then run the following command from a DB2 command windows:

"C:\Program Files\IBM\Cmgmt\cmbdbcat81" AIX CAT ICMNLSDB [database alias name] DB2INST1 [fully qualified domain name] 50000
In the example above, the database ICMNLSDB on an AIX environment is catalogged as [database alias name].

To remove a catalogged database, you can use the same command with the UNCAT parameter. Check the contents of cmbdbcat81 to view the command parameters.

To add an extra Content Manager to the System Adminstrative client, you need (besides catalogging the database) to enter an extra stanza in the cmbicmsrvs.ini.
