This manual describes the installation and configuration of Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways, a prebuilt driver to mainframe data.

Troubleshooting Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways
Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible to all users, including users that are disabled. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers.
