What announcement are you referring to?

I know of no way for DB2/400 to interact "directly" with Oracle unless one 
ponies up the big $$$ to purchase some extra software from either Oracle or IBM.

An iSeries Java application can use Oracle's JDBC driver, but I wouldn't call 
that DB2 acting "directly".  On the other hand, Oracle can use IBM's ODBC or 
OLEDB driver to directly access iSeries Tables.

Note that my definition of "directly" is a single SQL statement can join tables 
on separate systems.
