Each DB2 access service with a specific set of configuration properties will:
Transform SQL

Support remote procedure calls (RPCs)
Transfer data between DB2 and other servers accessible through Open Client
Support catalog stored procedures (CSPs) and system stored procedures
Support remote stored procedures (RSPs) and host-resident requests
