23 Feb 2006 Learn how to set up IBM® WebSphere® Information
Integrator Classic Federation for z/OS® (called II Classic from this point on)
and WebSphere Information Integrator OmniFind™ Edition (refered to as OmniFind from
this point on) to crawl product information in a VSAM file on z/OS. This technique
can be used to crawl other sources that are not natively supported by OmniFind, but
which are accessible using the WebSphere Information Integration product set.
Sources include, but are not limited to, Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft® SQL Server, IMS, ADABAS, and Datacom.
Prerequisites
You should have familiarity with WebSphere Information Integrator, IBM DB2®, and WebSphere Information Integrator OmniFind Edition.
System requirements
Before you begin, you must have installed and configured:
- DB2 UDB ESE V8.2 (included with OmniFind).
- WebSphere Information Integrator V8.2 Standard Edition (included with
OmniFind).
- WebSphere Information Integrator V8.2 Classic Federation for z/OS and
WebSphere Information Integrator V8.2 Classic Federation client on Windows.
- WebSphere Information Integrator V8.3 OmniFind Edition.
- Optionally, CICS. (Since you will only be crawling the VSAM file, CICS is not
required, but it is recommended for high-performing access to the VSAM file from
II Classic.)
