To compile a program that uses a remote DB2 server, you must first connect to that remote server. The DB2 ECM first attempts to connect to the database using the default values for the client workstation you logged on with. If the logon fails, the DB2 ECM will invoke the Micro Focus SQL Logon dialog box, from which you can specify a logon ID and password for the database you are trying to compile your program against.
There is an option to save your logon ID and password in memory so that you do not need to be prompted the next time you try to compile a program using the same database. This information is lost the next time you reboot your client machine or if you type the following command from a Net Express command prompt: MFDAEMON CLOSE.
