Database resource adapter (DRA)

The DRA is an interface to IMS DB full-function databases and data entry databases (DEDBs). Your application designer can create a program so that the DRA can be used by a coordinator controller (CCTL) or a z/OS® application program that uses the Open Database Access (ODBA) interface.

These topics are intended for the designer of a CCTL or an z/OS application program. If you want more information about a specific CCTL's interaction with IMS DB or DB/DC, see the documentation for that CCTL.
