Preface

This manual describes the installation and configuration of Oracle Database Gateway for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas, which enables Oracle client applications to access IMS, VSAM, and Adabas data through Structured Query Language (SQL). The gateway, with the Oracle Database, creates the appearance that all data is located on a local Oracle Database, even though the data can be widely distributed.

Audience

  • Installing the components of the Oracle Database Gateway for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas

  • Configuring the components of the Oracle Database Gateway for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas

  • Diagnosing gateway errors

Note:

You should understand the fundamentals of database gateways before using this guide to install or administer the gateway.
