  • 1.  TDI/SDI/VDI - Connecting to VSAM files or IMS tables on mainframe

    Posted yesterday

    Hi  Folks - We're looking for examples on how to use VDI to connect to mainframe data such as VSAM files and IMS databases.

    I don't have any way to actually test this, but from a couple of google searches (ims database jdbc driver; vtam files jdbc), it looks like JDBC could be a solution for you. For IMS, it looks like there is a JDBC driver available from your mainframe. For VSAM files, it looks like there are at least a few additional steps required. In either case, you would then use the JDBC Connector in Directory Integrator to connect and access data.

    Thank you, Frank. I suspected I would need to use the JDBC connector with an IMS driver.

    Hope you are doing well!
