* While we are on this topic can anyone explain how Websphere makes the connection between java application code and available databases? I assume it functions similar to JCL where the application code works with a DDNAME and MVS connects the DDNAME to a dataset. I imagine that the java application contains a symbolic for a database and WebSphere has the connection to the actual database that is represented by the symbolic. * True ? False ? Oversimplified ? *
Well in JCL I don't think you really point to a DDNAME that points to the database, at least not DB2 or IDMS. You may point to the DBMS instance you want to connect to, but within the program you code with database within that intsance you want to talk to.
I fairly sure that with WAS and DB2 you tell WAS the IP hostname/address and which TCP port of the DB2 instance you want to talk.
