Mainframe Software Prerequisites

CA IDMS Server requires the installation of the CA IDMS SQL option. The host component of CA IDMS Server is delivered on the CA IDMS installation media. CA IDMS r16 SP2, or later, is required to use the Type 4 JDBC driver and distributed transactions. CA IDMS r17, or later, is required to use the Wire Protocol ODBC driver. See the CA IDMS Installation and Maintenance Guide for more information about installing CA IDMS Server on the mainframe.

Use of the ODBC or JDBC driver with the CCI protocol requires the installation of the CA Common Services components CAIENF (Event Notification Facility) and CAICCI (Common Communications Interface) on the mainframe. For information about installing CAIENF and CAICCI on the mainframe, see your CA Common Services documentation.

Note: The CA Common Services components are not required to use the Type 4 JDBC driver or Wire Protocol ODBC driver.
