DB2 Connect
A great deal of the data in many large organizations is managed by DB2 for i5/OS,
DB2 for MVS/ESA, DB2 for z/OS, or DB2 for VSE and VM data servers. Applications
that run on any of the supported DB2 distributed platforms can work with this data
transparently, as if a local data server managed it. You can also use a wide range of
off-the-shelf or custom-developed database applications with DB2 Connect and its
associated tools. Quite simply, DB2 Connect provides connectivity to mainframe and
midrange databases from Windows, Linux, and UNIX platforms.
There are a number of DB2 Connect editions available: Personal Edition, Enterprise
Edition, Application Server Edition, and two Unlimited Editions (one for i5/OS
environments, and one for z/OS environments). The DB2 Connect products can be
added on to an existing DB2 data server installation, or act as a stand-alone
gateway. Either way, it’s purchased separately (although some complimentary user
licenses are provided in DB2 Enterprise). See Resources for more information on
DB2 Connect.
