The DB2 UDB Option for CICS provides alternatives to creating Server Option applications:
The AMD2 transaction for the DB2 UDB Options for CICS and for IMS, which will automatically process client SQL language requests using the DB2 UDB dynamic SQL facilities.
A set of Catalog RPCs, an interface for accessing DB2 UDB catalog information that includes DB2 UDB tables and views. This interface resides on the LAN-side of the DirectConnect for z/OS Option in a DB2 UDB Option for CICS configuration.
Using this product, client applications can communicate directly with TRS or with another server that communicates with TRS, such as Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE).
