Db2 ODBC run time environment setup

The steps in setting up the Db2 ODBC run time environment must be performed once. These steps are performed as part of the installation process for Db2 for z/OS®.

The Db2 ODBC bind files must be bound to the data source. The following two bind steps are required:
  • Create packages at every data source
  • Create at least one plan to name those packages

These steps are the same regardless of the version of the ODBC driver (31-bit non-XPLINK, 31-bit XPLINK, or 64-bit) that you use.

The online bind sample is available in DSN1310.SDSNSAMP(DSNTIJCL). It is recommended that you use this bind sample as a guide for binding DBRMs to packages and binding an application plan.
