I need to catalog a OS/390 DB from DB2 8.2 on AIX. in os/390 db name is 12 characters when try to catalog fro aix I get sql1001N error.

Can anybody tell how can I catalog ?

Thanks,

You don't acutally use the real database name for OS/390. Database is a totally different meaning on DB2 for z/OS than for DB2 on Linux, UNIX, Windows.

Marcus,

to catalog z/OS databases you are using the subsystem name.
this can have more than 8 characters, correct.

Still: you need DB2 Connect for any LUW DB2 to access host data.
in DB2 connect you will have a dcs entry mapping the long name to something short with 8 characters being used finally.

First: ensure you have DB2 connect.
Second: for host you need one additional catalog statement: catalog dcs ... to the usual catalog database, catalog tcpip ,
third: if you dont feel sure about the statements, may be using the GUI of the Configuration Assistant (db2ca in V8, db2cca in V7) helps.

I suppose you are not using a connect server instance at a different machine ?
