Can DB2 run on z/OS without DRDA access?

Hi, and thanks in advance. I am reading documentation for
a JDBC driver which uses DRDA to talk to DB2, but seems
to imply that some DB2 installations/configurations might
make DRDA access optional.

Sorry for the duplicate post. I was having trouble with one of the
netscape newsreader, and didn't think it went through.

Joe ... can you explain what you are trying to accomplish? I'm not sure
I understand your question. Of course it is possible to run DB2 on z/OS
without DRDA access. But what exactly are you trying to accomplish
application-wise that might or might not require DRDA?

Hi Larry, and thanks. The JDBC driver will only talk via DRDA, so I
wanted
to verify that in order to use the driver with a given z/OS DB2
instance,
that the DBMS needs to be configured to accept client connections that
speak DRDA, and that is optional, and may even be a separate purchase
item (DRDA access).

Joe ... I'm still not sure I understand what you are trying to
accomplish. Are you trying to access DB2 on z/OS via a Java type-4
driver from a client that resides on Windows/Linux/UNIX? If that is the
case, then if you want to do it with the IBM Java type-4 driver, this
requires licensing of DB2 Connect and use of DRDA.

As far as the mainframe and z/OS are concerned, everything you need for
DRDA is included with DB2 (and TCP/IP). You can find the enablement of
DRDA in the DB2 for z/OS pubs (including enablement of the DDF address
space).

It is only if you want to access DB2 for z/OS from OFF the z/OS platform
(normally from Windows/Linux/UNIX) that you need to purchase DB2 Connect.

Much appreciated. Yes the client will be on Windows or any other
non-IBM box. The driver I am investigating is a 3rd party one, and
needs nothing else on the client end. I was just making sure that
the use of that type-4 driver did not require anything extra on the
DBMS end.

Joe ... you will need to check with your type-4 driver vendor to find
out how their driver connects to DB2 for z/OS (if at all). If it is a
basic JDBC driver without any special DB2 for z/OS connectivity that is
provided by that vendor, then I believe you will have to use DB2 Connect
(DRDA).

type 4 driver still need IBM licence.

We use an AIX third party odbc driver that does not require db2
connect.

Hi I have a DB2 v8.1 on AIX and DB2 Connect EE on Solaris wich is connected to OS/390 DB2 subsystems via APPC / SNA. I have cataloged the DB2 Connect instance as tcpip node and then the Host DB cataloged on that node...this works from v7.2 Fixpack 11 clients and servers, but with v8.1 server I get SQL1334N. Does anyone has an idea? Thanks

Helpful folks, I am having a problem getting Oracle's Transparent Gateway for DRDA product to interface with DB2 UDB for LUW 8.1.14. The Gateway product is running on Linux and using DRDA protocol to connect to my DB2 test server, which is running on Win2003. This test server has recently been migrated to V8. It was previously on V7.2 FP5, and here is where the mystery lies.
