Hi,
We use DB2 9.7 ESE on Linux and we got to connect to z/OS Databases as if it is local to UDB server. I was trying to create federated server using control center and the option is disbaled. I have updated DBM config param Federated to Yes and started the instance. DB2 license command shows, "License is not registred". Is this create any problem? Please advise. I am new to LUW world. What are the other options, I have? Thank you.

You can federate between DB2 LUW for free. Federating to anything else requires buying a license.

What is the output of
command

you are probably missing the license for db2 connect ??
can you connect to z/os db2 from command line without federation ?

Thank you all for the reply. I would be able to connect to z/OS with DB2 Connect client and can export data from z/OS and load into Linux DB2 server. But unable to create federated server. The output of db2licm -l command as follows.

db2inst1@mhsocc172:/> db2licm -l
Product name: "DB2 Enterprise Server Edition"
License type: "License not registered"
Expiry date: "License not registered"
Product identifier: "db2ese"
Version information: "9.7"

Thank you.

The problem lies here, I think
Are you able to connect ? it is not clear. if you are able to, then try using SQL instead of Control Center,

- create wrapper
- create server
- create user mapping
- create nickname

these are the statements you need to look up for and issue them in the above order

Thank you. It worked in command editor with SQL.

Hi,

if you want to use Federation between LUW and z/OS. You need two Products/Licenses.
The First is homogenous Federation which is included in all Editions beside DB2 Express-C. Additionally you need DB2 Connect-Licenses.
