Installing Db2 Data Gate on IBM Z®

Install the Db2 Data Gate component on Z and configure Db2 for z/OS® to enable data synchronization in Db2 Data Gate instances on Cloud Pak for Data.

Table 1. Installation and configuration on IBM Z
Task Steps
Install Db2 Data Gate PTF Installing the Db2 Data Gate backend on z/OS
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.
Install the Db2 for z/OS maintenance required to support Db2 Data Gate Installing Db2 maintenance to enable Db2 Data Gate
Configure Db2 for z/OS to support Db2 Data Gate
  1. Setting Db2 for z/OS subsystem parameters for Db2 Data Gate
  2. Creating the Db2 Data Gate database and tables in Db2 for z/OS
    Important: If you have installed IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator for use with the same Db2 for z/OS system, then this database and the required system tables already exist. In this case, skip this step.
Create and setup 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.
  1. Set up WLM by Creating a WLM environment for the Db2 Data Gate stored procedures and Defining WLM performance goals for the Db2 Data Gate stored procedures
  2. Verifying the setup of Db2-supplied stored procedures for Db2 Data Gate
  3. Creating the Db2 Data Gate stored procedures
Create Db2 Data Gate users and grant privileges on Z  
Set up a secure, encrypted network connection if one is not already established.
  1. Configure inbound access to Db2 for z/OS
  2. Encrypt outbound network access from Db2 for z/OS to the Db2 Data Gate service
