Configuring the z/OS File stage

You perform configuration tasks on the InfoSphere® Information Server and on the Classic federation data server.

To configure the z/OS® File stage, complete these tasks:

  1. Configuring the Classic federation environment
    If you do not already have a Classic federation data server installed, you must install and configure it. If you already have a Classic federation data server, you must update the existing metadata catalog.
  2. Installing the ODBC client
    Install the ODBC client to connect InfoSphere Information Server to the InfoSphere Classic Federation Server for z/OS.
  3. Configuring the ODBC driver
    After you install the ODBC driver, you must configure the driver and create the data source.
  4. Setting Classic federation configuration parameters
    Setting these Classic federation configuration parameters might improve performance.
  5. Granting users access to the Classic federation data server
    The user that is specified in the z/OS File stage properties must have DBADM authority on the data server.
