For local federation I don't think there is any license needed.
You certainly do _not_ need a DB2 II license.
Blair is much more knowledgable than me on that.
My questions was technical of nature: for some reason I do not succeed in
creating a federated database. I have followed the docs but I keep getting
errors so I assumed that I may have the wrong version. I checked but both
the Enterprise Edition (on Windows 2000) and the Workgroup Edition (on
Linux) do the same thing wrong (propably meaning that I am consistently
doing the same things wrong ;-) ).
My problem is that I do not fully understand what I have to fill in in the
Control Center. I have the following questions:
1. The name for the remote data source is completely arbitrary?
2. Is it correct that there is no DB2 server type choice for Linux? Should I
use DB2/2 or DB2/NT?
3. Does it matter if the actual version (7.2.7) differs from what I fill in?
4. Is the node name the same as System name in the Control Center or the
name of the instances (both type of names are shown in the drop down box)?
