where is the DB2 "services" file located on windows system ?

[d***@gmail.com]

Hi all, does anyone know where is "services" file located on windows server ?

There is one parameter svcename in DBM CFG which point to the value in services file. It contains the servicename and TCPIP port to use for incoming connection from client.

svcename - TCP/IP service name configuration parameter

In UNIX-based systems, the services file is located in: /etc/services as per db2 documentation but never mentioned where is services file located on windows.

Please advice.

Thanks.
