At present we have DB2 on Z/OS, collecting information on putting DB2 on
Linux zseries. So that our company can save money on Z/OS cpu cycles(or
MIPS).
On our mainframe we have OMEGAMON,CICS,RACF,TSO and PLATINUM tools are
accessing DB2 database. If we do migrate to DB2UDB on LINUX zseries, then
how does the above tools can communicate to newer DB2UDB. Do we need any
product like DB2 Connect ? was this do able ? any known problems ? I am
looking for expertise advice on this.
Does still our old COBOL/CICS programs can still acess newer DB2UDB ?
Do we have to do any special binds ?
How was the DB2UDB performace on Linux z-series ?
We are looking for solution that can work seamless solution and no code
changes
Appreciate all your help.
Thanks

I suspect that it will not be as transparent as you are hoping.
DB2/Linux is similar but not the same as DB2/zOS. You are going over
the network to get to it (even if the network is over hypersockets).
I am curious to see how you can make your CICS work without changes to
your programs.
For your RACF, I can tell you that you will need a new approach. The
Linux is on a different system. Some people use LDAP for such
purposes. You will need to do some work to set up.
Your OMEGAMON will now need the Linux version. A new improved version
was announced about 7 weeks ago that might be of interest. It is a
priced feature.
No idea about your PLATINUM tools except to expect the same issues as
OMEGAMON i.e. separate products if available.
Please keep us posted.
