With the implementation of the Distributed Relational Database Architecture(TM) (DRDA) protocol, you can use ISQL to access data on non-DB2 Server for VM application servers that support the DRDA protocol and on which ISQL is loaded. If you plan to use ISQL to access data on a non-DB2 Server for VM application server, you should check with your System Administrator to see whether your application requester and the non-DB2 Server for VM application server are set up for access using the DRDA protocol.
