About this task

Forking a repository creates a copy of that repository under your account so you can experiment with changes to the sample project without affecting the original project.

Before starting to configure your z/OS Connect Designer workspace for your Db2 API project, you need to fork a copy of the sample Db2 API project. Once you have forked your own copy of the sample Db2 application, you are able to update the project with configuration details that are specific to your implementation.

Procedure

  1. Access the Db2 z/OS Connect Designer samples download site.
