At 16 Apr 2007 15:52:13 GMT, concerning "re: DB2 for z/OS version 7 - I'm gonna be sorry for suggesting it but *deep shiver up the spine* you could also investigate Oracle's Transparent Gateway and its z/OS component. It was just installed here for Oracle to DB2 access but indicates that it can handle requests in the other direction as well. Caveat #1: the documentation reads like you *must* install Oracle on z/OS but it's just poorly done. (a common Oracle problem according to hearsay) You end up with (#DB2 regions +1) started tasks as each gateway talks to one DB2 region. (there's one 'NET' component for comms) Caveat #2: the installer expects to use XWindows but, with *lots* of aggravation, can be run with 'response' files. Again, the documentation is *grossly* incomplete.
Neil, we are using the Oracle Transparent Gateway to access DB2 tables from windoze/unix. Does the OTG z/OS component have a specific name. As you say the doc is c**p and finding anyting on the Oracle we site is a nightmare.
