Using mainframe data access

To prepare to use mainframe data access :

  1. Install the DB2 II Classic Federation for z/OS, V 8.1 client software.
  2. Include the DB2 JDBC Driver (cacjdbc21.jar) in the JDBCDRIVERPATH in the JDBC connector startup script (see Starting the connector).

Note:
You must use the JDBC driver that is shipped with the client software.

To connect to the DB2 II Classic Federation Server:

  1. Go to the following URL to log in to the VLAN: jdbc:cac:DATASOURCENAME:tcp/host name or IP address/port number
    For example:
    jdbc:cac:CACWBI:tcp/9.30.136.99/8094
    
  2. When prompted, type in your userid and password for the VLAN. When login is complete, a pop-up window will indicate authentication is successful. Close this window but do not click on any buttons. The connection times out after a fixed time period. If you receive an error message, you need to log in to the VLAN again.
