DB2 (z/OS) Adapter overview

Use the DB2® (z/OS®) Adapter to access and manipulate data contained in databases that are DB2 data sources in the CICS® and IMS environment. For all other z/OS environments, use the DB2 (z/OS ODBC) adapter. For more information about the DB2 (z/OS ODBC) adapter, see the DB2 (z/OS ODBC) documentation. You can install adapters on additional systems for remote database connectivity.

You can use the DB2 (z/OS) Adapter with a Command Server, the Software Development Kit, or with a map in a map rule.

If you plan to only use mtsmaker without an .mdq file to create each type tree, you do not need to use the Database Interface Designer. However, you will still need to use the Database Interface Designer to create maps on the workstation. For information about using mtsmaker, see the Resource Adapters documentation.
