Accessing DB2

If your CSA accesses DB2, there is an additional precompile process. The DB2 precompiler produces an application plan that must be bound to DB2. In addition, the Systems Administrator must grant all CSA users EXECUTE authority on the plan.

Figure 4-2 illustrates the process involved.

The figure shows how to access CSA with database access.

Additionally, if your CSA accesses DB2 directly (not through DirectConnect), your System Administrator must make a CICS RCT entry for the CSA transaction.
