The following fields and controls are used in the Bind Utility window:
- Remote Location
- The drop-down list contains all the registered remote locations on the XDB Link. You cannot bind, rebind or drop a package until you select a location from this list.
Use the Gateway Profile Utility to register remote locations.
- Current SQLID
- Specifies the AuthID under which the bind will be executed. By default, your AuthID appears here.
Note: Do not change this field if you are creating the default package for XDB Link. The AuthID used to log on with the Bind Utility must match the primary AuthID on DB2, and must have the authority (in DB2) to run the initial bind.
- Continue on Error
- Enables the Bind Utility to continue processing when an error occurs.
- Bind

- Default
