Installing Data Gate on IBM Z

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

Table 1. Installation and configuration on IBM Z
Task	Steps
Install Data Gate PTF	Installing the 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 exists. In this case, skip this step.
Install the Db2 for z/OS maintenance required to support Data Gate	Installing Db2 maintenance to enable Data Gate
Configure Db2 for z/OS to support Data Gate	Setting Db2 for z/OS subsystem parameters for Data Gate Creating the 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 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.	Set up WLM by Creating a WLM environment for the Data Gate stored procedures and Defining WLM performance goals for the Data Gate stored procedures Verifying the setup of Db2-supplied stored procedures for Data Gate Creating the Data Gate stored procedures
Create Data Gate users and grant privileges on Z
Set up a secure, encrypted network connection if one is not already established.	Configure inbound access to Db2 for z/OS Encrypt outbound network access from Db2 for z/OS to the Data Gate service
Db2 Connect Unlimited Edition license activation	JDBC users need to take the steps shown here to ensure that Data Gate can connect to Db2 for z/OS.
