ReportCenter stores reporting data in an z/OS mainframe SQL-accessible database. The database product, CA Datacom/AD, is available at no charge for use with ReportCenter, if necessary.
The ReportCenter Java Task accesses the database using JDBC. JDBC is a Java application programming interface (API) that Java applications use to access any relational database. If you use CA Datacom/AD as your data warehouse, use the JDBC interface provided (known as CA Datacom Server).
ReportCenter requires CA Datacom/AD Version 10.0 or r11, and CA Datacom Server 5.0 (or higher). If you already have CA Datacom/AD 10.0 or CA Datacom/DB 10.0 installed, you can use this previously installed environment with ReportCenter or install a new CA Datacom/AD environment.
If you are going to install a new CA Datacom r11 environment as part of your ReportCenter implementation, install and set up CA Datacom/AD and its requisite products.
We recommend that you install a dedicated CA Datacom/AD environment for ReportCenter. If you add ReportCenter to an existing CA Datacom MUF, be aware that it can have different performance characteristics than your existing CA Datacom applications, and can require system parameter and other revisions.
If you have a specific CA Datacom/AD question or problem, contact Technical Support and indicate that you are running a CA Datacom/AD environment in support of ReportCenter.
