ACCRDB packet

The ACCRDB packet is sent by the client as part of the authentication process. It contains information about the client, and specifies certain parameters for the connection.

Properties

• RDBNAM (string): the name of the database being accessed.

• PRDID (string): the product ID of the database client, e.g. "JCC04260"

• PRDDTA (string): product-specific data. This is a string whose format is not formally defined, but usually looks something like: _JCC04260192.168.1.69      myclient               DB2INST1–JCC04260192.168.1.69                                  

This packet type often contains other properties, but they are usually not relevant, except for advanced cases.

Example

You can change the database being accessed with

context.packet.RDBNAM = 'OTHERDB';

This may be useful in some cases, but keep in mind that this could confuse some clients.
