Obtaining the IBM Z Database Assistant code

The installation materials for IBM® Z Database Assistant are delivered through multiple IBM systems.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have access to the following IBM systems:

  • IBM ShopZ for product ordering
  • IBM Marketing Registration Services (MRS) for downloading the IBM Z Database Assistant user interface
  • IBM Container Registry (ICR) for downloading the IBM Z Database Assistant containers

  3. From ICR, you'll download the container images by using the entitlement key from your ShopZ licensed document.
