Hi All,

I was just wondering if we can configure a DB2 mainframes and VSAM files as a source on Information Analyzer.

Thanks,
Madhumitha

These can both be set up as ODBC data sources with some additional software.

DB2 Connect to access a mainframe DB2 data source and Classic Federation to access a VSAM data source.

Cool!! Thank you so much!

We have DB2 connector but not Classic federation.

Looks like we may have to use datastage to convert CFF to FF I guess.. as pre-processing.
