There is a "DB2 Client" feature for VM. It provides what you need: the DRDA code for use by DB2 programs, without requiring to buy the SW for a DB2 Server.
Some more official title: The DB2 Client Edition on VM 7.5 - program nbr: 5697-F42 (was available as PRPQ P10154 in V7.3) 2009/10/22 Anthony Pignataro <pig...@us.ibm.com> > Hello.. > > I have a customer who is looking to access a Federated Database residing in > AIX from VM. No database in the VM environment. So VM would strictly be a > 'launching pad' or the requestor environment and the Federated database in > AIX would be the server. Can this be done?
