Product / license for z/OS Universal Driver on clients

[Kirk Wolf]

I apologize if this is available in a FAQ somewhere.

My question is this:
The DB2 Universal Driver jars are shipped with DB2 for z/OS
(db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar).

If a developer wants to use these on his workstation (for type-4
connections), does the license allow you to download them and use
them? I assume not.

If not, what products or (free?) downloads must one obtain for the
workstation which include at least these jars?
DB2 Connect? DB2 Data Server Client?

Thanks,
Kirk Wolf

According to the DB2 V9 for z/OS announcement letter:

"The no-charge z/OS Application Connectivity to DB2 feature, a Type 4
JDBC driver, is licensed for installation and use solely on z/OS. You
are authorized to use z/OS Application Connectivity to DB2 only to
support connectivity of an application running on z/OS (V7, V8, or
V9.1), with such application, in addition to being allowed to connect to
DB2 for z/OS (V7, V8, or V9.1), also being authorized to connect to V8.2
or V9 of DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows. No other connections from or
to any other products or databases are permitted. For any other
connectivity, you must obtain a separate license from IBM for the
edition of DB2 Connect that is appropriate for your environment."

DB2 Connect - both the client and server - has this jar file, and is
licensed for what you want to do.

Thanks. The "Developer's Edition" of DB2 Connect looks like one
option.

So what is "DB2 Data Server Client"?

Is there a free package for developers workstations that includes
these jars,
for use in connecting to DB2 for z/OS?

Thanks for your help.

Absolutely not. IBM charges for the ability to connect to z/OS, and they
don't appear to want to give that away, impacting a revenue stream.
