DB2 for z/OS and WebSphere: The Perfect Couple
by Bart Steegmans, Carsten Block, John De Dominicis, Sean Lee, Chao-Lin Liu, Egide Van Aerschot
Overview
DB2 for z/OS is a high performance DBMS, with a very strong reputation in high volume transaction workloads based on relational technology. WebSphere Application Server is a transaction monitor based on object-oriented technology, very much in sync with the J2EE standard. Can we marry the object world and relational world to create a high-volume, high-performance end-to-end OLTP environment? The answers can be found in this IBM Redbooks publication.
This book gives a broad understanding of the installation, configuration, and use of the IBM DB2 Universal Driver for SQLJ and JDBC in a DB2 for z/OS and OS/390 Version 7, and DB2 for z/OS Version 8 environment, with IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS for z/OS Version 5.02. It describes both type 2 and type 4 connectivity (including the XA transaction support) from a WebSphere Application Server on z/OS to a DB2 for z/OS and OS/390 database server.
This publication also demonstrates the advantages of SQLJ in a DB2 environment, the SQLJ support in the IBM application development tool WebSphere Studio Application Developer, as well as the SQLJ support for Enterprise JavaBeans using container-managed persistence.
