Chapter 8. Installing the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and
SQLJ
If you plan to run JDBC or SQLJ applications, after you install DB2 for z/OS or
migrate to the current version of DB2 for z/OS, you need to install the current
version of the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ.
Installing the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ as part of a
DB2 installation
To use the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ as a type 2 driver or a type
4 driver, you need to install the driver on your DB2 subsystem.
Prerequisites for the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ:
v Java 2 Technology Edition, V1.4.2 service release 2 (SR2), or later.
v TCP/IP
v DB2 for z/OS distributed data facility (DDF) and TCP/IP support.
v Unicode support for OS/390 and z/OS servers.
To install the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ, follow these steps:
1. When you allocate and load the DB2 for z/OS libraries, include the steps that
2. On DB2 for z/OS, set subsystem parameter DESCSTAT to YES. DESCSTAT
3. In z/OS UNIX System Services, edit your .profile file to customize the
4. Optional: Customize the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ
5. On DB2 for z/OS, enable the DB2-supplied stored procedures and define the

The following functions require Java 2 Technology Edition, V5 or later.
– Accessing DB2 tables that include DECFLOAT columns
– Using Java support for XML schema registration and removal
JDBC 4.0 functions require Java 2 Technology Edition, V6 or later.
The IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ supports 31-bit or 64-bit Java
applications. If your applications require a 64-bit JVM, you need to install the
IBM 64-bit SDK for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Edition, V5 or later.
TCP/IP is required on the client and all database servers to which you connect.
If any Java programs will use IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ type 4
connectivity to connect to a DB2 for z/OS Version 7 server, the OS/390 or z/OS
operating system must support the Unicode UTF-8 encoding scheme. This
support requires OS/390 Version 2 Release 9 with APAR OW44581, or a later
release of OS/390 or z/OS, plus the OS/390 V2 R8/R9/R10 support for
Unicode. Information APARs II13048 and II13049 contain additional information.
