How to connect different DB2 regions through a CICS program

Postby mbattu » Thu Aug 06, 2015 9:14 pm

Hi

I have a requirement where I need to access data from two different DB2 regions ( say DB2A and DB2B ) from a single CICS program (say it is connected to DB2A). Is it even feasible. Thank you for help.

DRDA is the buzzword

a cics region is <connected> to one DB2 instance, with the proper definitions and programming
a transaction can <process> tables in as many logical remote DB2 instances as needed.
