Oracle has an Oracle for DRDA adapter which runs on an Oracle box and plays with DB2's DDF; they also have an Oracle DB2 gateway which runs as two started tasks on the mainframe: network and gateway, and makes DB2 appear to an Oracle network as another Oracle instance. I've installed the latter, it works pretty well. Requires a small DB2 database which contains some mapping info (I think it's one row). There's an Oracle subsystem (usually named ORAC); you use ORAC commands to start and stop gateway pieces which let us fit it into our AF/Operator automation.
