hi guys!
i am an absolute new in the world of Z/OS. my development machine is windows and IBM websphere is installed on it. i have been given a TestDB DB2 installed on Z/OS. i have to test my DAO's with this DB. is it possible to create a datasource in WAS for this DB on Z/OS while WAS is on windows? if yes any special jdbc driver required? if required from where i can get?. Any answer in this regard will be highly appreciated. i have to complete this task in two days :-<.
It is possible to connect a windows was to a zos db2,
actually, the db2 jdcb universal driver can be used for any combination of db2 platforms,
the driver resides in
db2jcc.jar
before you can connect, you need another jar called
db2jcc_license_cu.jar
this jar comes by default and allows you to connect to db2 luw and cloudspace
in order to connect to zos you will need a jar file called
db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar
i guess you got it with the webshpere installation so just look for it
once these two files are in the class path, you should be able to configure a datasource in was in no time
good luck!
