To establish direct client connections to DB2® for z/OS®,
you can activate the DB2 Connect™ Unlimited
Edition for System z® license
key on the DB2 for z/OS subsystem.
About this task
Starting in Version 9.7 Fix Pack 3, you can activate the
license key for DB2 Connect Unlimited
Edition for System z on
any z/OS subsystem or data
sharing group that you want to access directly. Activating the license
key on a z/OS subsystem can
take less time than activating the key on each client computer. You
can activate the license only on a z/OS subsystem
or data sharing group for which the product was purchased.
If you
want to access System z servers
through a DB2 Connect gateway
server, the license activation process is the same as in previous
releases. For more information, see the topics about registering DB2 Connect license keys
and setting the license type.
Procedure
To activate the license key on a DB2 for z/OS subsystem,
use the db2connectactivate utility as follows:
- Ensure that Java™ Runtime
Environment 1.4.2 or later is available on the DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows workstation from which you want to
run the activation utility.
- From the activation_cd_root\consv_zs\db2\license directory,
issue the command for your operating system with the appropriate options:
- On UNIX: db2connectactivate.sh
[options]
- On Windows: db2connectactivate
[options]
For more information, see the db2connectactivate server
license activation utility topic.
