Hi

I wanted to know if it is possible for existing cobol-DB2 applications in z/os to access remote RDBMS (non-DB2) on the occasion of database migration.I read about how DRDA protocol can be used to connect DB2 z/os to remote DB2 but did not get any information on whether DB2 z/os can connect to any other remote RDBMS apart from DB2 using DRDA.

Can you please suggest some options to achieve this?

Thanks a lot Kolusu..

Actually I wanted to know if there are any non-product based solutions like DRDA.But I am not sure about its implementation in the current scenario. Sad

Is this a real requirement or you just interested ? Oracle has a gateway interface that can connect to DB2

Thanks kolusu


I am looking for options to connect existing cobol applications on z/OS to any other remote RDBMS other than DB2.

I read about three part name approach using DRDA concept.But I also came across this condition that three part name (DRDA approach) can be used only for DRDA compliant RDBMS. I could not find out the list of DRDA compliant RDBMS other than DB2 ,Informix etc.

Is there any other RDBMS that is DRDA compliant?

Sheelu,

If you had read my earlier response about Oracle you would have got the answer by now.

Thanks kolusu

I did go through the link provided by you.Actually I wanted to know if it is possible to connect batch programs running on z/OS to remote non-DRDA RDBMS (MYSQL, ORACLE ) without any product like federation server.

I read that it is possible to connect to remote DB2 without federation server ,but I am not sure about the other RDBMSes.

I am also looking for the list of DRDA compliant RDBMSes other than DB2.

Sheelu,

Do you even read the responses? This is the second time that I had to point to the earlier post in this very topic.

*Sigh* I guess I have to spoon feed you.
