One of the pros for running DB2 on zLinux is that the version of DB2 for zLinux is under active development by the IBM DB2 group and supports more features and capabilities than does the DB2 for z/VM. I think the DB2 for z/VM is basically in maintenance mode only these days.

Re: DB2 Connect and DB2 V7.5
Those modules get created by prepping DB2 connect into the DB2 databases on the VM side. How you get DB2 Connect to work without those modules is more perplexing to me to tell you the truth, but maybe that was possible in older releases of DB2 Connect. Anyway, there is a bind process that our DB2 Connect users follow to create those missing modules. I don't know what that process is since I am just a VM Db2 guy, but we typically have to give the DB2 Connect folks temporary DBA authority in order to do the preps, then your VM DBA needs to grant run on those new objects to public by connecting as NULLID.

Re: Restore DB2 Archive from old release to a newer release database
If you still have the 7.3 code disks lieing around, I would try logging on the 7.5 database, drop the 7.5 code disks, link and access the 7.3 code disks and then try the restore. It'll fail immediately if it won't work. My guess is it would work though if you have the 7.3 code disks accessed as Q V Tony Pignataro From: Ewald Roller e.rol...@rolf-benz.de To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Date: 03/17/2011 01:50 PM Subject: Restore DB2 Archive from old release to a newer release database Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Hi, this might be a silly question: is there a way to restore a DB2 ARCHIVE (taken with V7.3) to restore on a newly created DB2 V7.5 Database ?

Re: DOC3820
Hmmm. That's possible I suppose. I have been looking for documentation for the tools and can't find any. Years ago I worked with people who supported them locally and they were IBM's strategic tools for printing on VM in the late 1990's but I can't come across any information on whether they were more then tools or not and whether they were supported by the VM guys in Endicott at a higher level. They still exist internally on the Y disk on the VM systems I work on in IBM though.

DB2 on VM question
Is there a way to make Unrestricted Access the norm for SELECT * commands on DB2 running on VM? Right now one of our customers adds 'WITH UR' to their SELECT queries because if they don't add 'WITH UR' the database can lock out other users/applications. Every time new users come on board they forget the 'WITH UR' and end up locking people/applications etc. etc. So they want to avoid this. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

Re: DB2 on VM question
Hi Ed, Thanks for the response. I did mean Uncommitted Read. Sorry about that. I was just getting some security work I was doing mixed up with my question. The customers are running their queries from QMF. I am aware of the global DSQEC_ISOLATION parameter in QMF but I don't want to turn that on for everyone, just selected users. So I am not to sure what to do. I am going to do more digging, but if there are other ideas, I'd be glad to hear them.

I always thought UR meant Uncommitted Read which give you the most concurrency, but means you may get different results with the same SELECT within a logical unit of work. How are the SELECT commands being entered? If it is with ISQL you could set up a profile for the user so that when they sign in to ISQL, it runs a SET ISOLATION UR which would accomplish what you want. If the SELECT’s are in a program, you will need to PREP it with ISOL(UR). You are welcome to give me a call if you want to discuss this.

Accessing a Federated DB in AIX from VM
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? If so, is it documented anywhere or does anyone have an idea how to do it. DRDA? TCP/IP? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
