Create a connection to Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS

To create the connection asset, you need these connection details:

• Hostname or IP address
• Port number
• Username and password
• SSL certificate (if required by the database server)

For Credentials and Certificates, you can use secrets if a vault is configured for the platform and the service supports vaults. For information, see Using secrets from vaults in connections.

Restriction

The Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS connection discovers virtual tables, virtual views, and COBOL copybooks in a system Z environment that map to underlying file structures, such as IMS, VSAM, Sequential files, and other mainframe sources. IBM watsonx.data intelligence cannot create a virtual asset using this connection. Virtual assets can be created on Cloud Pak for Data by using the Data Virtualization service to combine other non-Z data assets with those discovered by the Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS connection.
