Part I: Setting Up Database Connectivity for DB2 UDB for z/OS

In this section, you will learn to set up these three connectivity scenarios:

  • From a DB2 for z/OS client to a DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows server

  • From a DB2 for z/OS client to a DB2 for iSeries server

  • From a DB2 for z/OS client to a DB2 for z/OS server

The DB2 Connect software is not required in these scenarios.

NOTE

In Chapter 6, Configuring Client and Server Connectivity, we mentioned that APPC is supported when connecting from a DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows client to a host server. However, inbound connections using APPC from a host client into a DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows server is not supported. TCP/IP is assumed for all the scenarios described in this appendix.
