Hello everyone! I am a student working as part of a university group and we are trying to connect our Ubuntu machine to z/OS DB2.
We currently have a script that currently uses php ibm_db2 functions to connect to DB2 Express C on an Ubuntu 14.04 server. When we try to translate that same script to remotely connect to a database on DB2 z/OS, we recieve this error, "[IBM][CLI Driver] SQL1598N An attempt to connect to the database server failed because of a licensing problem. SQLSTATE=42968 SQLCODE=-1598". We did some research and came across this site, www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21305417, which describes that the driver used by the ibm_db2 functions cannot conntact the database because of non-matching drivers and licences. How do we go about finding a driver and license to install on our Ubuntu machine to connect to DB2 on z/Os? If we are not going about this in the right way, are there any alternative methods we can use? We are open to suggestions.
This is the code that we are currently using.
<?php
$database = 'Location';
$user = 'USERSIDS';
$password = 'PASSWRD';
$hostname = 'hostname of z/os';
$port = port;
$conn_string = "DRIVER={DB2};DATABASE=$database;" .
"HOSTNAME=$hostname;PORT=$port;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=$user;PWD=$password;";
$conn = db2_connect($conn_string, '', '');
?>
Thank you for the help! |
