DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / B10 - DB2

If db2dsdriver.cfg is used to connect to a database that is
not catalogued, the same 'Database name' is listed at 'Local
database alias' on the 'connect database' or 'get connection
state' command even though 'alias' and 'name' are differently
configured in db2dsdriver.cfg.

  For example, if '' is defined in db2dsdriver.cfg, the 'get
connection state' command returns as below,

    Database Connection State

    Connection state       = Connectable and Connected
    Connection mode        = SHARE
    Local database alias   = name1
    Database name          = name1
    Hostname               = host1
    Service name           = portnum

  But if 'alias1' is cataloged for the database 'name1' by
"catalog database name1 as alias1 at node host1" command,
'alias1' is properly listed at 'Local database alias' as below.

    Connection state       = Connectable and Connected
    Connection mode        = SHARE
    Local database alias   = alias1
    Database name          = name1
    Hostname               = host1
    Service name           = portnum
