Steve,
In addition, a popular Redbook for setting up the mainframe (including the DDF) to
handle incoming TCP/IP connections is "WOW! DRDA Supports TCP/IP: DB2 Server for
OS/390 and DB2 Universal Database". It can be at
http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedbookAbstracts/sg242212.html?Open
If you are wanting to simply view data via SQL calls, Access, or some other tool then
once you setup the ODBC connection via the CCA you are ready to go. If you are
wanting to view the data via the Control Center, then there are some stored procedures
that must be installed on the mainframe for this to work. I've never done this so I
don't know exactly what needs to be installed. You should be able to find out more
about the mainframe side of this by searcing the DB2-L archives at
http://jupiter.ryci.com/archives/db2-l.html
Best of luck!

DB 7.1 NT -> DB2v5 os390
Ok basic question time. I've tried to find out via the quick beginnings,
the list archives and book mangler but I think I need a pointer in
the right direction.
If I want to a) 'See' my db2 os390 catalog and b)'See' data
in databases from the workstation how
do I know what port number to use? I have the ip address but
cannot find a port number. I should point out that the m/f
is very vanilla at the moment and it is quite possible that I
need to do work on that end too. Do I need to get DDF up and
running to do this or is there some magic via tcp/ip which lets
me see things. I have been using the CCA but I suspect I need
to do more on the m/f end first.
Perhaps I should be more basic and not assume that I am going
in the right direction and simply ask...What are the basic steps
I need to perform at each end to achieve the link between the two?
An RTFM message telling me the manual/chapter would be fine.
TIA
Steve T
