IMS supports (or used to) more than relational databases. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 עַם יִשְׂרָאֵל חַי נֵ֣צַח יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לֹ֥א יְשַׁקֵּ֖ר

I'm thinking that Data Virtualization Manager may be the answer: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/dvm/1.2.0?topic=sources-configuring-access-ims-databases but figured someone might have done this and have some advice. This is for a client who has a need to tour some z/OS data in Db2 (for which they have a driver) and IMS.
