Re: Accessing DB2 on other platforms with DDM files

Hello Jim,

DDM does exist on the mainframe using DB/2 (but not VSAM or other storage techniques), but I don't think (at least last time I checked) it supports TCP. It's all APPN/APPC, meaning SNA.

I already established a working SNA adjacency, and I can CONNECT with interactive SQL to the DB2 instance.

https://try-as400.pocnet.net/wiki/Access_OS/390_DB2_database_tables_from_OS/400_over_SNA/APPN

Startup messages emit a TCP port.

I think the network control program on the mainframe needs to add the LU2 devices needed to communicate.

Fortunately, there are default. Have not yet found out where these are set.

Tedious work as I remember it, having done that a time or two in the far past......

I guess so.

:wq! PoC
