Sure. You treat the Linux system as a remote DB/2 instance, and do DRDA over TCPIP as documented in the DB2 manuals. You still need a minimum of DB2 on z/OS (and you need to be sure you are comfortable with the functionality presented by the LUW version of DB2 -- it's not the same as z/OS DB2), but it works fine. Great use for a hipersocket connection between the LPARs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
