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.  To find the
    Db2 13 changes and related information, search on
