Hi,

I am trying to configure iWay DB2 adapter using CLI. I want to be able to access tables from two DB2 subsystems. Does any one know what goes into the db2cli.ini file to acheive this?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

few things you have to be aware:

- server can connect to one subsystem and therefore communication database has to be set up to point to various subsystems
- STEPLIB has to point subsystem to be used for communication

example db2cli.ini is:

[COMMON]
MVSDEFAULTSSID=DBZ1
MVSATTACHTYPE=RRSAF
MULTICONTEXT=1

[DBZ1]
MVSATTACHTYPE=RRSAF
;MVSATTACHTYPE=CAF

[DBY1]
MVSATTACHTYPE=RRSAF
;MVSATTACHTYPE=CAF

[DSNB]
MVSATTACHTYPE=RRSAF
;MVSATTACHTYPE=CAF


in server edasprof.prf connect string should point to aliases defined in communication database

Thanks Volkov. Is it mandatory to use RRSAF as the MVSATTACHTYPE?. I used RRSAF and I get the following error message.

(FOC1400) SQLCODE IS 31073 (HEX: 00007961)
: [58004] {DB2 FOR OS/390}{ODBC DRIVER} SQLSTATE=58004 ERRLOC=2:170:4;
: RRS "IDENTIFY" failed using DB2 system:LAWX, RC=08 and REASON=00f3009

Volkov,

Can you please elobarate on this.

-server can connect to one subsystem and therefore communication database has to be set up to point to various subsystems

Thanks.

Volkov,

I think I know understand what you mean by defining it in the communication database, but does DDF has to be turned on?.

Thanks.
