<h1 class="topictitle1">Initial setup</h1>
<div><p>The runtime support for an <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> distributed
relational database is provided by the operating system. Therefore, when the
operating system is installed, distributed relational database support is
installed.</p>
<p>However, some setup work might be required to make the application requesters
and application servers ready to send and receive work, particularly in the
Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC) environment. One or more
subsystems can be used to control interactive, batch, spooled, and communications
jobs. All the application requesters (ARs) in the network must have their
relational database directory set up with connection information. Finally,
you might want to put data into the tables of the application servers throughout
the network.</p>
<p>The relational database directory contains database names
and values that are translated into communications network parameters. An
AR must have an entry for each database in the network, including the local
database and any user databases that are configured on independent auxiliary
storage pools (IASPs, also known as independent disk pools).
These local entries can be added automatically by the system, or manually.
Each directory entry consists of a unique relational database name and corresponding
communications path information. Information about the preferred password
security for outbound connections can be specified. For access provided by
ARD programs, the ARD program name must be added to the relational database
directory entry.</p>
<div class="p">There are a number of ways to enter data into a database. You can use an
SQL application program, some other high-level language application program,
or one of these methods: <ul><li>Interactive SQL</li>
<li><span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> query management</li>
<li>Data file utility (DFU)</li>
<li>Copy File (CPYF) command</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>Connection and setup information for a distributed relational database
network of unlike servers can be found in the <cite>Distributed Relational
Database Cross-Platform Connectivity</cite> book, SG24-4311-02. </p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1workmanage.htm">Work management on the iSeries server</a></strong><br />
All of the work done on the <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> is
submitted through the work management function. On an <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span>,
you can design specialized operating environments to handle different types
of work to satisfy the requirements of your server.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1drdaconsiderations.htm">User databases on independent auxiliary storage pools</a></strong><br />
The user might create additional relational databases on an <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> server by configuring independent
auxiliary storage pools (IASPs) on the server. Each independent auxiliary
storage pool group is a relational database.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1rdbdir.htm">Use the relational database directory</a></strong><br />
The <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> licensed
program uses the relational database directory to define the relational database
names that can be accessed by applications running on an <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span>,
to specify if the connection uses Systems Network Architecture (SNA) or IP,
and to associate these relational database names with their corresponding
network parameters.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1drdasec.htm">Set up DRDA security</a></strong><br />
Distributed
Relational Database Architecture™ (DRDA<sup>®</sup>) security is covered in the Security
topic, but for the sake of completeness, it is mentioned here as a consideration
before using DRDA<sup>®</sup>,
or in converting your network from the use of Advanced Program-to-Program
Communication (APPC) to TCP/IP.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1tcpipsetup2.htm">Set up the TCP/IP server for DRDA</a></strong><br />
If you own a Distributed Relational
Database Architecture™ (DRDA<sup>®</sup>) application server (AS) that will be using the
TCP/IP protocol, you need to set up the DDM TCP/IP server.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1setup4isql.htm">Set up SQL packages for Interactive SQL</a></strong><br />
This topic applies only to non-<span class="keyword">iSeries</span> Application
Servers (ASs).</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1setddm.htm">Set up DDM files</a></strong><br />
The implementation of DRDA<sup>®</sup> support on the <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> uses
Distributed Data Management (DDM) conversations for communications. Because
of this, you can use DDM in conjunction with distributed relational database
processing.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1dbload.htm">Load data into tables in a distributed relational database</a></strong><br />
Applications in the distributed relational database environment operate on data stored in tables. In general, applications are used to query a table for information, to insert, update, or delete rows of a table or tables, or to create a new table. Other situations occur where data on one server must be moved to another server.</li>
