DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 is the IBM relational database management system for OS/390 systems. This chapter does not address earlier releases. See Connecting DB2 for MVS/ESA in a DRDA Network.
This chapter describes how to connect DRDA Application Requesters (such as DB2 Connect) to a DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 Application Server, and how to set up DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 Application Requesters to communicate with DRDA Application Servers such as DB2 Universal Database on other systems.
The primary emphasis of the information in this chapter is on connecting unlike DRDA systems to DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 using SNA network connections. However, DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 Version 5 introduced support for database communications using native TCP/IP connections (not using AnyNet), and some discussion of using TCP/IP connections is also included. For more detailed information about using setting up and using TCP/IP connections, please refer to DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 Installation Guide, and DRDA Support for TCPIP with DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 and DB2 Universal Database.
For more information about connecting two DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 systems, or more detailed information describing how to define DRDA connections to DB2 Universal Database for OS/390, see the discussion of connecting distributed database systems in the DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 Administration Guide.
