Preparing and running JDBC and SQLJ programs

You prepare and run DB2® for z/OS® Java programs in the z/OS UNIX System Services environment.

Program preparation for JDBC programs
Preparing a Java program that contains only JDBC methods is the same as preparing any other Java program. You compile the program using the javac command. No precompile or bind steps are required.
Program preparation for SQLJ programs
Program preparation for SQLJ programs involves translating, compiling, customizing, and binding programs.
Binding SQLJ applications to access multiple database servers
After you prepare an SQLJ program to run on one DB2 database server, you might want to port that application to other environments that access different database servers. For example, you might want to move your application from a test environment to a production environment.
Program preparation for Java routines
The program preparation process for Java routines varies, depending on whether the routines contain SQLJ clauses.
Running JDBC and SQLJ programs
You run a JDBC or SQLJ program using the java command. Before you run the program, you need to ensure that the JVM can find all of the files that it needs.
