Before You Begin

Before you begin to install the Adapter for Db2, you should be aware of installation prerequisites and consider maintenance procedures that may affect the installation process. This chapter describes these pre-installation requirements.

This guide assumes that the person performing the installation and maintenance procedures has a working knowledge of z/OS. Knowledge of FOCUS and the Structured Query Language (SQL), with the exception of the SQL GRANT command, is not required.

The Db2 database administrator (DBA) will need to provide site-specific information, such as storage and table or view names required for the SQL GRANT command.

Read this guide thoroughly before installing the adapter to ensure correct installation.
