Set Up the DB2 for z/OS Connector

The DB2 for z/OS connector uses JDBC, and it requires a license file to connect to the DB2 endpoint. The license file is available only if you already have a license for DB2 Connect.

For information, see the following IBM technotes:

Follow these steps:

  1. Install or upgrade CA IAM CS.

    The installation registers CA IAM CS with the provisioning server, creates the DBZ endpoint, and populates it with its associated metadata.

  2. Install the 32-bit version of IBM DBZ Connect Enterprise Edition 8.2 for Win on the computer where you installed the CCS.
  3. Find db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar, which is in the following location on the DB2 Connect activation CD:
    /db2/license
    
  4. Copy the license file to the following location on the CA IAM CS computer:
    cs_home/jcs/resources/jdbc
    
  5. Run the jdbc_db2_zos script in the same location.

    This script creates a bundle that contains the license file.

  6. Log in to CA IAM CS.
  7. At the top, click the Connector Servers tab.
  8. In the Connector Server Management area, click the Bundles tab.
  9. Add the new bundle:
    1. In the Bundles area on the right, click Add.
    2. Browse to the bundle that the script created, then select the connector server on which this connector will be available.
    3. Click OK.

      The new bundle appears in the Bundles list.

  10. Find the main connector bundle in the Bundles list, then right-click its name in the list and choose Refresh Imports from the popup menu.

CA IAM CS can now connect to DB2 endpoints.
