Test DirectConnect DB2 access service connectivity to mainframe

To test DB2 access service connectivity to the mainframe

1. To test DirectConnect DB2 access service connectivity to the mainframe without DirectConnect, you can use one of two methods:

   • Start the DirectConnect Server that you created using the following syntax from the command line:

     DCStart -Ssrvname
     

     where srvname is your DirectConnect server name.

   • Start up DirectConnect Manager and click on the server icon.

2. Test the connectivity between the access service and DB2 by using the isql utility and entering:

   isql -Sservice_name -Umainframe userid -Pmainframe password
   

   where:

   • service_name is the name of your service.

   • userid and password are your mainframe user ID and mainframe password.

The connection is successful when you see the prompt.
