Preparing to install Db2 Data Gate
Installing Db2 Data Gate requires a number of installation and configuration steps be performed on IBM Z® and on IBM Cloud Pak® for Data. Additional steps are required to connect these systems.
Certain installation and configuration tasks might be best performed by people in different roles.
The tasks and steps in the following table should be preformed in the order listed in the table for ease of installing and configuring Db2 Data Gate. However, depending on your environment, some steps might be optional if they are already complete (for example, if the Db2 for z/OS® subsystem is already running with all current maintenance, or if inbound network access to the Db2 for z/OS subsystem is already configured).
Because of the different user roles required and potentially different system environments, consider creating a high-level plan to manage, coordinate, and track all major planning, installation, and configuration activities, using this roadmap as a guide.
Type | Task | Subtask | User roles |
---|---|---|---|
Plan | Review the Db2 Data Gate system requirements |
|
|
Prepare | Configure inbound access to Db2 for z/OS | z/OS system administrator or network administrator | |
Prepare | Encrypt outbound network access from Db2 for z/OS to the Db2 Data Gate service |
Important: Steps 2 and 3 require the OpenShift route hostname, port, and IP address of the Db2 Data
Gate instance and might best be done after you create a Db2 Data
Gate instance. However, you can perform the tasks with proper planning of the hostname, port,
and IP address.

z/OS system administrator or network administrator |
Install | Install the Db2 Data
Gate PTF on IBM Z Important: If you have
installed IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator for use with the same Db2 for z/OS system, then this PTF already exists. In this
case, skip this step.
|
z/OS system administrator or programmer | |
Install | Installing Db2 maintenance to enable Db2 Data Gate | z/OS system administrator or Db2 installation system operator (Install SYSOPR authority) | |
Configure | Configure Db2 for z/OS to support Db2 Data Gate |
|
z/OS system administrator or Db2 installation system operator (Install SYSOPR authority) |
Configure | Create and set up Db2 Data
Gate stored
procedures Important: If you have installed IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator for use with the same Db2 for z/OS system, you already have the required stored
procedures. Besides, you are not allowed to create another set of stored procedures with the same
names. Therefore, you need not create an additional WLM environment, and you need not define
performance goals, so skip the sequence of steps on the right.

z/OS system administrator or programmer | |
Configure | Create Db2 Data Gate users and grant privileges on Z | z/OS system administrator or programmer with Unix service system skills, security administrator | |
Install and Configure | Install, provision, and configure a Db2 instance for Db2 Data Gate on Cloud Pak for Data | Cloud Pak for Data project administrator, Db2 administrator | |
Install | Install Db2 Data Gate service on Cloud Pak for Data | Cloud Pak for Data project administrator | |
Install and configure | Post-installation setup for Db2 Data Gate | Cloud Pak for Data project administrator, Data Gate administrator |
