This course replaces course DB2 Connect 9 to DB2 fro z/OS DRDA Implementation with TCP/IP (CF602).
This course trains the database or communications professional to implement, administer, and tune DB2 Connect to DB2 for z/OS client/server distributed relational database connections using the Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA). Teaching methods consist of classroom lectures, and extensive machine lab exercises using DB2 Connect with TCP/IP connections to DB2 for z/OS. Labs may be done on either a Windows or UNIX system.
You will configure TCP/IP connectivity for DB2 for z/OS, DB2 Connect, and optionally DB2 for Windows or UNIX to enable DRDA connections. You will also create a database manager instance, bind applications remotely, and identify security, performance, and problem determination issues.

Audience
This intermediate course is for database administrators, system administrators, systems engineers or system implementers responsible for Distributed Database configuration and implementation between a Linux, UNIX and Windows environment and a DB2 for z/OS server.
Prerequisites
You should have a working knowledge of Windows or UNIX, and z/OS operating systems, and be familiar with DB2 concepts.
Skills taught
- Describe the connectivity alternatives
- Configure DB2 for z/OS as a DRDA application server
- Connect from a Linux, UNIX or Windows client to a DB2 for z/OS server using DB2 Connect, JDBC type 4 connection or the IBM Data Server for ODBC and CLI
- Configure a DB2 Connect Server
- Connect form a client to a DB2 for z/OS server through a DB2 Connect server
- Move data between platforms
- Configure DB2 for z/OS as a DRDA application requester to access a DRDA application server
- Perform basic problem determination in a distributed environment
