Add Z/OS license to an installed ODBC Cli driver on Cloud


I deployed a PHP Cloud Foundry app using PHP buildpack. This buildpack has ODBC Cli extention so I can use DB2 functions and I can connect to DB2 on cloud. But I can't connect to a Z/OS DB2 database via Secure Gateway bevause I receive license error. I have to license the driver files somehow on Cloud. I have the license file. Any idea how to do this?


Solution

  • If your cloud hostname is configured with "IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI" then you can connect to Db2 for Z/OS if you add a Db2-connect license file to the license subdirectory of the installation-directory for "IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI" - before starting your application.

    The name of the license file will be similar to "db2consv_ee.lic" or "db2consv_as.lic" or "db2consv_zs.lic".
