Defining a z/OS lookup data source

Use the Optim™ preferences to define a lookup data source for the z/OS® platform.

A database connection is required. You can add the connection in the Data Source Explorer view or create a connection when you define the lookup data source.

You will need to identify a schema for the lookup data.

To define a lookup data source for the z/OS platform:

  1. Click Window > Preferences. The Preferences window opens.
  2. In the navigation tree, expand the Optim node and then click z/OS Lookup Data Source. The z/OS Lookup Data Source page opens.
  3. Click Edit. The z/OS Lookup Data Source Selection wizard opens.
  4. Complete the steps of the wizard.

    You must select a connection to the lookup data source and specify a schema for the lookup data. You can also create or edit a connection.

  5. Click OK.
