interplatform database

[sandeepveldi]

Hi All,
Can any one tell me if a multiplatform CMOD server can use the DB2 database sitting on Z/OS?

Thanks in advance,
Sandeep Veldi

Hello Sandeep,

at my knowledge no.

You should and must install the CMOD Library server where the database is physically installed.
So, no remote database seems to be supported at the moment.

The other way it could work (never tested...) is to have a CMOD Library server sitting on z/OS with of course DB2, and the object server is on a multiplatform.
But I don't know if that will work...

Let see if somebody has another answer! :-)

Kind regards,
Alessandro

Hi Sandeep & Alessandro...

Mixing and matching Library and Object servers across platforms IS supported -- but Alessandro is right -- the database and Library server need to be on the same system.  (Probably because of the API being used, and for performance reasons.)
