Comments
This APAR enhances the Db2 for z/OS IMS attach facility (ESAF) to support OTel trace context propagation from IMS applications connecting to Db2 for z/OS using the Db2 IMS attach facility (ESAF). **** IMPORTANT NOTE **** This APAR only provides the ability for the Db2 for z/OS IMS attach facility (ESAF) to support OTel trace context propagation from IMS to Db2. Additional product and software updates, *which are not included in this APAR*, are also required to enable the OTel support and functionality. At a minimum, usage of the OTel functionality provided in this APAR also requires and is dependent on: - Db2 for z/OS OpenTelemetry (OTel) Distributed Tracing support initially delivered by Db2 13 APAR PH67971. - IMS OTel support, initially delivered in IMS TM 15.5 APAR PH62728. **** IMPORTANT NOTE **** Please refer to the Db2 13 and IMS 15.5 online product documentation for additional details for enabling OTel trace context propagation from IMS to Db2.
