You can run the Oracle client software on z/OS to connect to any Oracle instance to which it has a userid/password on any other system running an Oracle server. The client uses TCP/IP for its transport, so the client and server must be able to communicate to each other over TCP/IP. Also note that if you need z/OS CICS to talk to a remote Oracle server, that is also possible. Note that I am not an Oracle expert, but I have been reading a lot about it lately because I am implementing Oracle on z/OS (not z/Linux). This means that I'm not 100% sure exactly how to do it, just that it can be done. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
