This chapter describes tasks you must perform to configure the DRDA server. Each supported operating system is addressed separately. Experience with the given operating system and database is required.
The steps for configuring your remote DRDA server apply to the following DRDA servers:
DB2/OS390
DB2/400
DB2/UDB (Universal Database)
Configuring a DRDA database to enable access by the gateway requires actions on the DRDA database and on certain components of the host operating system. Although no Oracle software is installed on the host system, access to and some knowledge of the host system and DRDA database are required during the configuration. Refer to the vendor documentation for complete information about your host system and DRDA database.
This chapter contains the following sections:
Perform the following tasks to configure the DRDA server with DB2 on an OS390 system:
Define the user ID that owns the package
During gateway configuration, you will need to run the Bind Package Stored Procedure to bind the gateway package on the DRDA Server. To properly bind the package, the user ID and password that are used when the procedure is run (either implied as the current Oracle user or explicitly defined in the CREATE DATABASE LINK command) must have proper authority on the DRDA Server to create the package. This user ID should be used to create and own the ORACLE2PC (two-phase commit) table. The user ID that is used to bind or rebind the DRDA package must have one or more of the following privileges on the DRDA Server:
Package privileges of BIND, COPY, and EXECUTE, for example:
GRANT BIND ON PACKAGE drda1.* TO userid GRANT COPY ON PACKAGE drda1.* TO userid GRANT EXECUTE ON PACKAGE drda1.* TO PUBLIC
Collection privilege of CREATE IN, for example:
GRANT CREATE IN ON PACKAGE drda1 TO USER userid
System privileges of BINDADD and BINDAGENT, for example:
GRANT BINDADD TO USER userid GRANT BINDAGENT TO USER userid
Database privilege of CREATETAB, for example:
GRANT CREATETAB ON DATABASE database TO USER userid
Choose a user ID that will own the package and the ORACLE2PC table. Ensure that this user ID is defined to both DB2 and OS/390 (MVS).
Define the recovery user ID
During gateway configuration, the recovery user ID and password are specified in the Gateway Initialization File using the DRDA_RECOVERY_USERID and DRDA_RECOVERY_PASSWORD parameters. If a distributed transaction fails, then the recovery process connects to the remote database using the user ID and password defined in these parameters. This user ID must have execute privileges on the package and must be defined in the DRDA database. If the user ID is not specified in DRDA_RECOVER_USERID, then the gateway attempts to connect to a user ID of ORARECOV when a distributed transaction is in doubt.
Determine the user ID and password you will use for recovery.
Determine DRDA location name for DB2 instance
The DRDA location name is required as a gateway parameter. To determine the location name, run the following SQL query from a DB2 SPUFI session:
SELECT CURRENT SERVER FROM any_table
where any_table is a valid table with one or more rows.
If the value returned by this query is blank or null, then the DRDA location name has not been established. Contact the system administrator to arrange to set a location name for the instance.
Configure DB2 Distributed Data Facility for Gateway
DB2 Distributed Data Facility (DDF) is the component of DB2 that manages all distributed database operations, both DRDA and non-DRDA.
If your site uses DB2 distributed operations, then DDF is probably operational on the DB2 instance you plan to access through the gateway. If DDF is not operational, then you must configure it and start it as described in the appropriate DB2 documentation.
Even if DDF is operational on the DB2 instance, it might be necessary to make changes to the DDF Communication Database (CDB) tables to specify the authorization conduct of DRDA sessions from the gateway. This can be done by properly authorized users with a utility like the DB2 SPUFI utility. If you make changes to CDB tables, then you must stop and restart DDF for the changes to take effect. Refer to Chapter 14, "Security Considerations", for additional CDB tables and security information.
Experience with DB2/400 and AS/400 is required to perform the following steps:
Define the user ID that owns the package
During gateway configuration, you will need to run the Bind Package Stored Procedure to bind the gateway package on the DRDA Server. To properly bind the package, the user ID and password used when the procedure is run (either implied as the current Oracle user or explicitly defined in the CREATE DATABASE LINK command) must have proper authority on the DRDA Server to create the package. This user ID should be used to create and own the ORACLE2PC (two-phase commit) table. The user ID that is used to bind or rebind the DRDA package must have the following privileges on the DRDA Server:
Use authority on the CRTSQLPKG command
Change authority on the library the package will be created in
Choose a user ID now that will own the package and ORACLE2PC table. Ensure that this user ID is defined in DB2/400 and AS/400.
Define the recovery user ID
During gateway configuration, the recovery user ID and password are specified in the Gateway Initialization File using the DRDA_RECOVERY_USERID and DRDA_RECOVERY_PASSWORD parameters. If a distributed transaction fails, then the recovery process connects to the remote database using the user ID and password defined in these parameters. This user ID must have execute privileges on the package and must be defined to the DRDA database. If the user ID is not specified in DRDA_RECOVER_USERID, then the gateway attempts to connect to a user ID of ORARECOV when a distributed transaction is in doubt.
Determine the user ID and password you will use for recovery.
Determine DRDA location name for DB2/400 instance
The DRDA location name is required as a gateway parameter. To determine the location name, run the following SQL query from a STRSQL session. If SQL is unavailable on the system, then use the AS/400 command DSPRDBDIRE to identify your LOCAL DRDA Server.
SELECT CURRENT SERVER FROM any_table
where any_table is a valid table with one or more rows.
If the value returned by this query is blank or null, then the DRDA location name has not been established. Contact the system administrator to arrange to set a location name for the instance.
Experience with DB2/UDB, configuring the communication subsystem of DB2/UDB, and the host System Administration tools is required to perform the following steps:
Define the user ID that owns the package
During gateway configuration, you will need to run the Bind Package Stored Procedure to bind the gateway package on the DRDA Server. To properly bind the package, the user ID and password used when the procedure is run (either implied as the current Oracle user or explicitly defined in the CREATE DATABASE LINK command) must have proper authority on the DRDA Server to create the package. This user ID should be used to create and own the ORACLE2PC (two-phase commit) table. The user ID that is used to bind or rebind the DRDA package must have one or more of the following privileges on the DRDA Server:
Package privileges of BIND and EXECUTE, for example:
GRANT BIND ON PACKAGE drda1.g2drsql TO USER userid
GRANT EXECUTE ON PACKAGE drda1.g2drsql TO PUBLIC
Schema privileges of CREATEIN, for example:
GRANT CREATEIN ON SCHEMA otgdb2 TO USER userid GRANT CREATEIN ON SCHEMA drda1 TO USER userid
Database authorities of CONNECT, BINDADD, and CREATETAB, for example:
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE TO USER userid GRANT BINDADD ON DATABASE TO USER userid GRANT CREATETAB ON DATABASE TO USER userid
Choose a user ID now that will own the package and ORACLE2PC table. Ensure that this user ID is defined in both the DB2 instance ID and the operating system
Define the recovery user ID
During gateway configuration, the recovery user ID and password are specified in the Gateway Initialization File using the DRDA_RECOVERY_USERID and DRDA_RECOVERY_PASSWORD parameters. If a distributed transaction fails, then the recovery process connects to the re mote database using the user ID and password defined in these parameters. This user ID must have execute privileges on the package and must be defined to the DRDA database. If the user ID is not specified in DRDA_RECOVER_USERID, then the gateway attempts to connect to a user ID of ORARECOV when a distributed transaction is in doubt.
Determine the user ID and password you will use for recovery.
Determine DRDA location name for DB2/UDB instance
The DRDA location name is required as a gateway parameter. To determine the location name, run the following SQL query from a DB2 CLI session:
SELECT CURRENT SERVER FROM any_table
where any_table is a valid table with one or more rows.
If the value returned by this query is blank or null, then the DRDA location name has not been established. Contact your system administrator to set a location name for the instance.
