Before You Begin

Before you begin to install the Adapter for Oracle on z/OS or z/VM, you should be aware of installation prerequisites and consider maintenance procedures that may affect the installation process. This chapter describes these pre-installation and maintenance requirements.

This guide assumes that the person performing the installation and maintenance procedures has a working knowledge of z/OS, Multi Session Option (MSO), or CMS. Knowledge of FOCUS and native SQL, with the exception of the SQL GRANT command, is not required.

The Oracle database administrator (DBA) will need to provide site specific information such as storage table or view names required for the SQL GRANT command.

We recommend that you read this guide thoroughly before installing the adapter to ensure correct installation.
