Preparing to install Data Gate
Installing 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 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 | User role |
---|---|---|
Plan | Review the 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 Data Gate service:
Important: Steps 2 and 3 require the OpenShift® route hostname, port, and IP address of the Data Gate instance and might best be done after you create a 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 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 Data Gate | z/OS system administrator or Db2 installation system operator (Install SYSOPR authority) |
Configure | Configure Db2
for z/OS to support Data Gate:
|
z/OS system administrator or Db2 installation system operator (Install SYSOPR authority) |
Configure | Create and set up 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. In that case, skip the following steps.
|
z/OS system administrator or programmer |
Configure | Create Data Gate users and grant privileges on Z |
|
Install and Configure | Install, provision, and configure a Db2 instance for Data Gate on Cloud Pak for Data |
|
Install | Install Data Gate service on Cloud Pak for Data | Cloud Pak for Data instance administrator |
Install and configure | Post-installation setup for Data Gate |
