Getting Started with Oracle Database Gateway
Heterogeneous data access is a problem that affects a lot of companies. A lot of companies run several different database systems. Each of these systems stores data and has a set of applications that run against it. Consolidation of this data in one database system is often hard—in large part because many of the applications that run against one database may not have an equivalent that runs against another. Until such time as migration to one consolidated database system is made feasible, it is necessary for the various heterogeneous database systems to interoperate.
Oracle Database Gateways provide the ability to transparently access data located in a non-Oracle system from an Oracle environment. This transparency eliminates the need for application developers to customize their applications to access data from different non-Oracle systems, thus decreasing development efforts and increasing the mobility of the application. Applications can be developed using a consistent Oracle interface for both Oracle and VSAM, IMS, or Adabas.
Gateway technology is composed of two parts: a component that has the generic technology to connect to a non-Oracle system, which is common to all the non-Oracle systems, called Heterogeneous Services, and a component that is specific to the non-Oracle system that the gateway connects to. Heterogeneous Services, in conjunction with the Database Gateway agent and Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways, enables transparent access to non-Oracle systems from an Oracle environment.
Oracle Heterogeneous Services
Heterogeneous Services provides the generic technology for connecting to non-Oracle systems. As an integrated component of the database, Heterogeneous Services can exploit features of the database, such as the powerful SQL parsing and distributed optimization capabilities.
Heterogeneous Services extend the Oracle SQL engine to recognize the SQL and procedural capabilities of the remote non-Oracle system and the mappings required to obtain necessary data dictionary information. Heterogeneous Services provides two types of translations: the ability to translate Oracle SQL into the proper dialect of the non-Oracle system and the ability to handle data dictionary translations so that the metadata of the non-Oracle system is displayed in the local format. For situations where no translations are available, native SQL can be issued to the non-Oracle system using the pass-through feature of Heterogeneous Services.
Heterogeneous Services also maintains the transaction coordination between Oracle and the remote non-Oracle system, such as providing the global transaction protocol to ensure distributed transaction integrity, even for non-Oracle systems that do not natively support global transactions.
See Also:
Oracle Database Heterogeneous Connectivity User's Guide for more information about Heterogeneous Services.
Oracle Database Gateways
Oracle Database Gateways for VSAM, IMS, and Adabas allow Oracle client applications to access VSAM, IMS, and Adabas data through Structured Query Language (SQL). The gateway, with the Oracle database server, creates the appearance that all data resides on a local Oracle database server, even though data might be widely distributed. If data is moved from these data sources to an Oracle database, no changes in the client application's design or function are needed because the gateway handles all differences in data types or SQL functions between the applications and the database.
Using Oracle SQL, Oracle client applications can access data sources such as VSAM, IMS, and Adabas as if the data was stored in an Oracle table. A single SQL statement can access data residing in Oracle and VSAM, IMS, or Adabas data sources, performing heterogeneous joins and subselects. This means that you can develop one set of portable applications to use against Oracle and these non-relational data sources. You can continue to develop new information systems without losing your investment in existing data and applications.
Transactions updating Oracle and these non-relational data sources are automatically protected by the Oracle global transactions feature. Use of synonyms is another Oracle feature. By setting up synonyms in the Oracle database server that point to database links to VSAM, IMS, or Adabas files, the physical location of the data is transparent to the client application. This allows future migration of data from VSAM, IMS, or Adabas to Oracle to be transparent to the client applications.
The gateway requires the Oracle database server, Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways, and Oracle Studio for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways. All other Oracle products are optional. However, using other Oracle products with the gateway can greatly extend the gateway's capabilities.
The gateway can be installed on a computer where the Oracle database is installed, or on a second, standalone machine. Each configuration has its advantages and disadvantages. The issues to consider when you determine where to install the gateway are network traffic, availability of the operating system platform, hardware resources, and storage.
Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways must be installed on the z/OS system where the VSAM, IMS, or Adabas data source is installed. To be able to configure and manage Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways, you need to install Oracle Studio for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways on a computer running Windows or Linux.
Gateway Architecture
The gateway is invoked by the listener. The gateway is not multi-threaded and cannot support shared database links. Each gateway session spawns a separate gateway process, and connections cannot be shared.
The gateway is located on a Windows or UNIX computer. The non-relational data source resides on a computer running IBM z/OS. The Oracle database server can reside on the same machine as the gateway or on another machine.
The gateway interacts with the Oracle database server to interface between client applications and the VSAM, IMS, or Adabas data source, as shown in Figure 1-1.
Note:
The non-Oracle system in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 represents VSAM, IMS, or Adabas data source.
Figure 1-1 Gateway Processing
Client applications, such as Developer, connect to the Oracle database server by using Oracle Net.
The Oracle database server, which includes Heterogeneous Services and the database itself, resides on a single system. This Oracle database server also stores definitions of database links for the non-Oracle system.
The gateway to VSAM, IMS, and Adabas resides on a second system.
The VSAM, IMS, or Adabas data source, together with Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways, resides on a third system, which is an IBM z/OS platform.
Oracle Studio for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways, which is used to configure Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways, resides on a fourth system, which can be running a Windows or Linux operating system.
The Oracle database server on the first system uses Oracle Net to connect directly to the VSAM, IMS, or Adabas gateway on the second system. The gateway itself uses the Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways protocol to connect to Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways, which then connects to the non-Oracle system using the same protocol.
The Oracle database server and the gateway work together to present the appearance of a single Oracle database to the client. All data accessed by the client appears to reside in a single Oracle database. The client application sends a request to the Oracle database server, and the Oracle database server sends the request to the gateway.
For the first transaction in a session, the gateway logs into the VSAM, IMS, or Adabas data source using a username and password that is valid in the respective data source. The gateway converts the SQL statement to a native VSAM, IMS, or Adabas statement, and the VSAM, IMS, or Adabas data source performs the request. The gateway converts the retrieved data to a format compatible with the Oracle database server and returns the results to the Oracle database server, which returns the results to the client application.
Gateway Process Flow
Figure 1-2 shows a typical gateway process flow. The steps explain the sequence of the events that occurs when a client application queries the VSAM, IMS, or Adabas data source through the gateway.
Figure 1-2 Gateway Process Flow
The client application sends a query over Oracle Net to the Oracle database server.
The Oracle database server sends the query over to the gateway, again using Oracle Net.
The gateway passes the query on to Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways.
For the first transaction in a session, Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways logs into the VSAM, IMS, or Adabas data source using a user name and password that is valid in the respective data source.
Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways converse the Oracle SQL statement into a data access operation understood by the data source.
Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways retrieves the data.
Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways converts the retrieved data into a format compatible with the Oracle database server.
Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways passes the data to the gateway using the Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways protocol.
The gateway returns the query results to the Oracle database server, again using Oracle Net.
The Oracle database server passes the query results to the client application by using Oracle Net. The database link remains open until the gateway session is finished or the database link is explicitly closed.
Setup Flow
To be able to access VSAM, IMS, or Adabas data, you need to perform the tasks described in the following list, in the specified order. Each step in the list directs you to the relevant manual or chapter.

Accessing the Installation Software
You can access Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways by using one of the following methods:
Navigate to the download page for the product that you want to install.
On the download page, identify the required disk space by adding the file sizes for each required file.
The file sizes are listed next to the file names.
Select a file system with enough free space to store and expand the archive files.
In most cases, the available disk space must be at least twice the size of all of the archive files.
On the file system that you selected in step 4, create a parent directory for each product, for example, dg4ims, to hold the installation directories.
Download all of the installation archive files to the directory that you created in step 5.
Verify that the files you downloaded are the same size as the corresponding files on OTN.
Extracting the Installation Files
To extract the installation archive files:
If necessary, change directory to the directory that contains the downloaded installation archive files.
To extract each file, enter the gunzip command.
For example:
$ gunzipfilename.cpio.gz
This command creates files with names similar to the following:
filename.cpio
To extract the installation files, enter the cpio command.
For example:
$ cpio -idmv <filename.cpio
Note:
Refer to the download page for information about the correct options to use with the cpio command. Some browsers extract files while downloading them, but leave the .gz file extension. If these steps do not work, remove the .gz extension from the files and repeat step 3.
For each file, this command creates a subdirectory named Diskn, where n is either 1 or the disk number identified in the file name.
Copying the Oracle Software to a Hard Disk
Before installing Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways, you might want to copy the software to the hard disk. This enables the installation process to run a bit faster. Before copying the installation media content to the hard disk, you must mount the installation media. The following section describes how to mount discs and copy their content to the hard disk.
Mounting Discs
On most Sun Solaris operating systems, the disc mounts automatically when you insert it into the disc drive. If the disc does not mount automatically, perform the following steps to mount it:
Enter the following command to switch user to root:
$ su - root
If necessary, enter a command similar to one of the following to eject the currently mounted disc, then remove the disc from the drive:
On Sun Solaris (SPARC):
# eject
On IBM AIX:
# umount/cdrom
On HP-UX Itanium:
# /usr/sbin/umount/SD_CDROM
In these examples, /cdrom and /SD_CDROM are the mount point directories for the disc drive.
Insert the appropriate disc into the disc drive.
To verify that the disc mounted automatically, enter a command similar to the following, depending on your platform:
Sun Solaris (SPARC):
# ls /cdrom/cdrom0
If this command fails to display the contents of the disc, enter a command similar to the following to mount it, depending on your platform:
The back-end database gateways that run on an IBM z/OS platform are:
Oracle Database Gateway for VSAM
Oracle Database Gateway for IMS/DB
Oracle Database Gateway for Adabas

If you use SMS to manage all datasets, then you cannot provide unit and volume information, which is the unit where SMS is located.
Before starting the installation, make sure that you have the following permissions:
Permission to define an APF-authorized library.
Permission to write to an active proclib, such as user.proclib.
Permission to read the CICS EXCI library when accessing data under CICS.
Permission to update the security manager, such as RACF.
Optionally, permission to specify an output class for Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways output. Assigning a device that is set on HOLD prevents the loss of log information when the started tasks of Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways finish.
Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways for the IBM z/OS platform is included in the following datasets:
[INSTROOT].TRANSMIT.KIT
[INSTROOT].TRANSMIT.LOAD
where INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier of the installation, such as AC10131.
Kit Installation Instructions
Perform the following on the mainframe:
Run the following command:
tso profile noprefix
The user name will not be used as part of the dataset name. On some systems this is the default.
Allocate datasets with the following space for each of these files:
[INSTROOT].TRANSMIT.KIT = 130 tracks (3380 and 3390 disks)
[INSTROOT].TRANSMIT.LOAD = 500 tracks (3380 and 3390 disks)
For each dataset: RECFM=FB and LRECL=80. The block size is 3120.
Transferring the Kit to the Dataset
You need to move the contents of the kit to the mainframe computer in the dataset that you allocated. When you copy the contents of the kit, you will see that the contents are now utilized.
Perform the following steps to copy the Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways installation kit contents to the mainframe:
Extract the compressed file to a folder on a computer running Microsoft Windows.
Open the Command console on the Windows computer.
Type FTP and the name of the mainframe computer where you want to connect. This creates an FTP connection to the mainframe machine. You may have to enter a user name and password to use the machine.
Type bin to transfer binary data.
Enter the following command to transfer the data from the .KIT file to the mainframe computer:
put transmit.kit '[INSTROOT].transmit.kit'(replace
where:
transmit.kit is the name of your installation file.
(replace ensures that any data on the volume where the kit is installed is overwritten.
Enter the following command to transfer the data from the .LOAD file to the mainframe computer:
put transmit.load '[INSTROOT].transmit.load'(replace
Close the FTP connection.
Installation Instructions
Perform the following steps to install Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways:

The installation is completed. All JCL jobs and REXX procedures are included in the INSTROOT.USERLIB library. INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier for the installation.
Postinstallation Instructions
The following postinstallation tasks must be done to work with Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways:
Perform the following tasks after completing the installation to configure Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways:
Allocate a dataset for INSTROOT.DEF.BRANDBIN, using 1 track and with RECFM=VB and LRECL=256. The block size is 6233.
INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier where Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways is installed.
Using FTP, copy the brand.bin file to INSTROOT.DEF.BRANDBIN on the mainframe in binary.
Change the following line in the ATTDAEMN script to include the IP address and port of the IBM z/OS platform.
For example, before:
// PARM='-B START IRPCDINI'
After:
// PARM='-B -L ip_address:2551 START IRPCDINI'
Where ip_address is the IP address of the computer, 2551 is the default port for starting the daemon and IRPCDINI is the default daemon configuration.
Move the INSTROOT.USERLIB(ATTDAEMN) and INSTROOT.USERLIB(ATTSRVR) members to any active proclib (such as user.proclib). ATTDAEMN and ATTSRVR are run as started tasks.
If you decide to change the name of the ATTSRVR member when you move it to a general high-level qualifier, then change the name specified in the StartupScript parameter in the daemon configuration to the new name:
Run INSTROOT.USERLIB(NAVCMD) and enter EDIT DAEMON IRPCDINI at the prompt.
Change the startupScript parameter from ATTSRVR to the new name for the server as follows, where [NEW_NAME] is the new name that you chose for the server:
If you change the name of the A4
TTSRVR member, make sure to use this new name in all related tasks.
Define the LOADAUT library as an APF-authorized library.
To use the global transactions capability, define every steplib library in the ATTSRVR JCL as an APF-authorized library. Make sure that the libraries are APF-authorized after each IPL.
If you want to use transactions, make sure that RRS is installed.
Note:
To define a data set as APF-authorized, in the SDSF screen, enter the following command, where volume_name is the volume where the data set is allocated:
If the site uses SMS, enter the following command when defining APF-authorization in the SDSF screen:
"/setprog apf,add,dsn=[data_set_name],SMS"
The ATTDAEMN, ATTSRVR, and NVIMSSRV started tasks need permission to use an OMVS TCP/IP stack. The owner must be a user with OMVS segment defined and OMVS UID= 0000000000.
In the security manager, such as RACF, create the STARTED class general resource profiles ATTDAEMN, ATTSRVR, and NVIMSSRV. These profiles need to have the following permissions:
Permission to issue master console commands.
START authority for both profiles.
Access to an OMVS segment (that defines access to TCP/IP OMVS sockets).
ALTER authority on datasets under INSTROOT.hlq (to access to read, write, allocate and delete datasets under INSTROOT.hlq).
The installation includes the data set INSTROOT.DEF.GBLPARMS, which contains global environment information. This data set is read at startup and the correct software version is used, based on the details provided in the startup task.
If you change the location of this data set, then you must also change the relevant DD card in the used started tasks and scripts.
The input during the installation procedure is written to INSTROOT.BUILDKIT.SRC(PARS2). You can use this file to provide the same inputs if you rerun the installation, where INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier you assign for the installation.
Consult TCP/IP documentation for information about specifying Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways as the service using port 2551 in the TCP/IP network services file.
Starting the Daemon
Activate INSTROOT.USERLIB(ATTDAEMN) as a started task to invoke the daemon. For example, in the SDSF screen, enter the following:
'/s ATTDAEMN'
INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier where Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways is installed.
To submit the daemon as a job, uncomment the first two lines of the ATTDAEMN JCL, change the PARM line as described earlier, and run the job using the subcommand. The ATTDAEMN JCL is similar to the following:
Setting Up Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways for Reentrancy
All Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways load modules are reentrant to enable subtasking. Therefore, move INSTROOT.LOAD to the Link Pack Area (LPA), where INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier where Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways is installed.
Using the LPA reduces real storage usage (because everyone shares the LPA copy) and fetch time.
Note:
If you intend to use impersonation—the ability of a server to execute in a security context that is different from the context of the process that owns the server—, do the following:
Place the INSTROOT.LOAD(ATYSVCW) member in an APF-authorized library outside the LPA.
Change the ATTSRVR member (located in the active proclib), by adding the following to the STEPLIB list:
// DD DSN=apf_library,DISP=SHR
Where apf_library is the APF-authorized library outside the LPA where the ATYSCVW member was moved.
Configuring Additional Settings for Working with CICS
If you did not set up CICS during the installation, do the following to work with CICS:
Add the DD card that defines the CICS EXCI load library to the steplib of the ATTSRVR started task.
ATTSRVR is located in both INSTROOT.USERLIB and an active proclib (such as USER.PROCLIB).
Add the CICS EXCI load library to the TASKLIB list of the REXX procedures NAVCMD and NAVSQL of the INSTROOT.USERLIB, as follows:
By default, Oracle Studio for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways sets the VTAM netname for CICS data sources to ATYCLIEN.
You can set up ATYCLIEN by doing one of the following:
Use the JCL in the INSTROOT.USERLIB(CICSCONF) member to submit the DFHCSDUP batch utility program to add the resource definitions to the DFHCSD dataset (see the IBM CICS Resource Definition Guide for further details).
Use the instream SYSIN control statements in the INSTROOT.USERLIB(CICSCONF) member as a guide to defining the resources online using the CEDA transaction.
If you work intend to work with the IMS-DBCTL data source, initialize the EXCI by using the CDBC transaction.
Configuring OTMA for Working with IMS/TM
If you want to use the IMS/DBDC data source, you need to check your OTMA configuration. If the OTMA is not configured, perform the following procedure:
If OTMA is not installed, install it using the IMS INSTALL/IVP Dialog.
Set the startup parameter in the IMS startup procedure to OTMA=Yes.
In addition, set OTMA-related parameters such as GRNAME= for the XCF group name and OTMANM= for the IMS member name in that XCF group, as in the following example:
Add an entry in the program properties table (PPT) for the OTMA C/I initialization program by editing the SCHEDxx member of the SYS1.PARMLIB dataset and adding the following entry:
PPT PGMNAME(DFSYSVI0) /*PROGRAM NAME =DFSYSVI0 */CANCEL /*PROGRAM CAN BE CANCELED */KEY(7) /*PROTECT KEY ASSIGNED IS 7 */SWAP /*PROGRAM IS SWAPPABLE */NOPRIV /*PROGRAM IS NOT PRIVILEGED */DSI /*REQUIRES DATA SET INTEGRITY */PASS /*CANNOT BYPASS PASSWORD PROTECTION */SYST /*PROGRAM IS A SYSTEM TASK */AFF(NONE) /*NO CPU AFFINITY */NOPREF /*NO PREFERRED STORAGE FRAMES */
Do one of the following for the SCHEDxx changes to take effect:
Execute IPL.
Issue the SET SCH= command.
Edit and submit the following JCL procedure to run DFSYSVI0 after the IPL to initialize OTMA C/I:
It is recommended to add the step for running this program to the IMS/TM started task.
Setting Up Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways to Update VSAM, IMS, or Adabas Data
You can set up Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways to directly update VSAM, IMS/DB, or Adabas data. The setup procedure depends on whether your data source runs under CICS or not. Perform the relevant task.
To set up Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways so that you can update VSAM data from a CICS transaction
Copy the UPDTRNS load module from INSTROOT.LOAD to a CICS user load library and then define the UPDTRNS program under CICS using any available group:
Where INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier where Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways is installed and data source is VSAM.
After defining the UPDTRNS program to a group, install it as follows:
CEDA IN G(group_name)
To set up Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways so that you can update IMS/DB data from a CICS transaction
Copy the ATYDBCTL load module from INSTROOT.LOAD to a CICS user load library and then define the ATYDBCTL program under CICS using any available group:
Where INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier where Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways is installed and data source is IMS.
After defining the ATYDBCTL program to a group, install it as follows:

Troubleshooting Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways
3 Troubleshooting Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways
Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways may require troubleshooting issues that involve multiple technologies, platforms, data sources, applications and networks. This section presents an orderly approach for troubleshooting Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways issues. Troubleshooting functions are available in Oracle Studio for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways, command line utilities, and product logs. In some case you must use command line utilities to troubleshoot a feature because it may not be possible to use Oracle Studio for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways (especially if there is a problem with communications or installation).
Troubleshooting Methods
This section describes procedures and utilities that are used to check specific problems. This section includes:
daemon-location: The IP address (or hostname) and port where the daemon listens. For example, corpsrv.acme.com or corpsrv.acme.com:2800
workspace-name: The name of a workspace to check (the server checked will be a server of this workspace). If omitted, the default NAVIGATOR workspace will be used.
username and password: The credentials to be used if access to the server requires authentication.
Using the NAV_UTIL CHECK DATASOURCE Utility
The NAV_UTIL CHECK DATASOURCE utility performs basic Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways data source access checks.
When you run this utility, it performs the following steps:
Connecting to the specified binding
Loading the definition of the specified data source
Loading the driver of the specified data source
Connecting to the specified data source
Disconnecting from the data source
By running this utility, you can detect data source configuration problems and get a better idea of the point where the error occurs.
The complete syntax for this utility is as follows:
binding-name: An optional binding name to use. If omitted, the default binding 'NAV' is used.
datasource-name: The name of the data source to check
Using Trace Log Files
You can use logs that are created by Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways to find possible problems and troubleshoot them. Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways creates various trace logs that trace specific types of information. The trace logs usually are saved in a temporary folder or directory (called temp) in the Oracle root folder. To create the log files, you must activate the log trace. Follow the steps below for activating a log trace.
In the Oracle Studio for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways Design perspective Configuration view, expand a machine with the binding you are working with.
Right click the binding and select Edit Binding. The Binding editor opens in the editor section.
At the bottom of the editor, click the Properties tab. The editor displays a list of property categories.
Expand the Debug category. The editor displays a list of trace options.
Set the value to true for one or more of the trace options.
Note:
For the binaryXmlLogLevel log, you set its level. For more information on setting the level for this log, see binaryXmlLogLevel.

Check the daemon is up on the remote machine (NAV_UTIL CHECK).
Check the network connection by trying to ping the host machine or run FTP or telnet to or from it.
C045
Failed to create a service thread
Explanation: The server failed to create a thread to service a client request.
A system or process quota limit has been exceeded. Either increase the quota or lower the NClientsPerServer setting for the server in the Workspace section of the daemon configuration.
C047
%s out of memory
Explanation: Not enough memory was available to Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways to complete a requested operation.
Terminate unnecessary processes running on the server.
Add more memory to the system.
Allow the process to use more memory.
Limit the number of processes that the daemon can start. If the demand for servers exceeds the number of available servers, clients get a message telling them that the maximum number of servers were reached and asking them to try again later.

Have the system administrator re-install Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways on the server.
C069
Fail to get server
Explanation: The Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways daemon (IRPCD) on the server machine could not start a server process to serve the client. A separate message provides more detail on why the server process could not start.
There are many possible causes of this error. If the cause is not clear from the related message, see the Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways daemon log file on the server
The resolution to this error is highly dependent on the particular cause. The following are some typical causes and resolutions:
The process creation quota was exceeded. Either try again later or increase the quota or the other relevant system resources.
The server startup script failed. This could be caused by some instructions in the process logon script, such as LOGIN.COM on OpenVMS, .cshrc on UNIX.
The username given is not allowed to use the requested server. Use an authorized username.
A limit on concurrent clients for a server has been reached. Try again later.
If you use impersonation, check the user profile on the client. Also see C015.
C06A
Failed to connect to server
Explanation: The server assigned to the client did not accept the client connection. A separate message provides more detail about why the server process did not accept the connection.
See the daemon and server log files for the reason that the server was not available to accept its assigned client.
If a multi-threaded server is used and many clients are trying to connect to it at the same time, some may get a Connection Refused error if the TCP/IP request queue fills up.
C06B
Disconnecting from server
Explanation: A network failure, a server machine failure, or a server program failure caused the connection to abort. The currently active transaction is aborted as well.
Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways will automatically try to re-establish a connection with a server when it receives the next SQL command for the server.
Once the network or machine failure is corrected, the connection to the daemon is re-established automatically.
C06C
No conversion between server codepage %s and client codepage %s
Explanation: Client and server machines use different codepages.
Using the codepage environment variable in the Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways environment settings, synchronize the codepages used on the server and client.
C06D
Too many codepages in use, cannot load any additional codepages
Explanation: Multiple codepages are specified for the server.
Delete one or more of the codepages specified in the codepage environment variable of the server environment settings.
C06E
Versions of Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways client (%d) and server (%d) do not match
Explanation: A new version of Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways was installed on either the client or server without using the upgrade installation procedure.
Reinstall the new version of Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways.
C06F
There is no codepage defined for the server
Explanation: The codepage environment variable is not specified in the environment settings.
Specify the codepage environment variable in the Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways environment settings.
C070
Server failed to send reply to the client
Explanation: Server terminated unexpectedly.
Unless the client was intentionally stopped, for example, using Control-C, contact Oracle Support Services. Contact local support at https://metalink.oracle.com/
C071
Connection to server %s was disconnected. Cursors state was lost.
Explanation: Either a network failure, a server machine failure or a server program failure caused the connection to abort. The currently active transaction is aborted as well.
Normally, Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways automatically tries to create a new session with the server upon the next attempt to access the server. If the network and server are accessible, the next operation should succeed, otherwise, the network and/or server machine should be fixed before the connection is resumed.
In case of a server crash that is not related to a callable user code, contact Oracle Support Services. Contact local support at https://metalink.oracle.com/
C072
Reconnect to server %s
Explanation: This is an informational message only. The client has reestablished its connection with the server.
No action required.
C073
The parameters passed to the admin server are invalid: %s
Explanation: Internal error.
Contact Oracle Support Services. Contact local support at https://metalink.oracle.com/

EXECUTE
This section contains information on the following topics:
Use the EXECUTE command to test data connections and SQL statements in the interactive NavSQL environment. Running the EXECUTE command gives you the NavSQL prompt.
An example of when to use the EXECUTE command is to check the available data types supported by the data source. For example, if a table in the data source requires a float, the SQL must specify a float rather than a string.
Perform the following procedure to run the EXECUTE command on z/OS platforms.
password: The master password that was specified for the user profile. If the password is not supplied, you are prompted for it.
workspace: The name of the binding that is used as the basis for information. If the binding is not supplied, the default Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways binding is used.
ds_name: The name of the data source, as specified in the binding configuration. If you don't supply this parameter, you are prompted for it.
filename: The name of a file, which contains SQL statements. The SQL statements in the file are run immediately. The file is a text file (with any extension). Multiple SQL statements in the file must be separated by semi-colons (;).
The EXECUTE command lets you perform the following tasks:
Run SQL statements.
Request Help and information about a data source.
Change the name of the default data source.
Enter the command tdp with the new name that you want as the default data source. This name must have been defined in the binding configuration.
Exit the NavSQL environment.
Enter quit or exit.
Each entered command can span a number of lines. End the command with a semi-colon (;).
Compose an SQL statement and end it with a semi-colon. Press <Enter> to execute the statement.
If the SQL contains data from more than one data source, use a colon (:) to identify the data source (that is, datasource_name:Table_name).
From a File
Enter the full name of a dataset that contains SQL, surrounded by single quotes and prefixed by @. Press <Enter> to execute the SQL contained in the dataset. For example:
@'NAVROOT.TMP.SQL1'
will execute the SQL contained in the SQL1 dataset.
Perform the following procedure to run a dataset immediately.
At the prompt, enter:
execute <data_source> <file>
Where:
data_source is the name of the data source as defined in the binding and file is the name of the SQL file.
Perform the following procedure to run all the queries in the dataset without the overhead of displaying query information on the screen for each query.
At the prompt, enter:
execute <data_source> -quiet <file>
In this case, only queries that fail cause information to be displayed to the screen during the run. A message is displayed after all the queries have been run, stating the number of queries that succeeded and the number that failed.
From within a Transaction
Enter the command begin-transaction (optionally with either read-only or write permission) to start a transaction where you can commit a number of SQL statements together. Use commit to update the data sources with any changes or rollback if you decide that you do not want to accept the changes.
EXECUTE Commands
Use the HELP command to list all the available EXECUTE commands, as shown in Figure A-1.
The following transaction-based commands are available for use with the EXECUTE command:
Begin-transaction
Commit
Rollback
The following command can be used to change the default data source:
tdp <ds_name> or tdp-default <ds_name>

xml_file: The XML file to which the specified object is exported (output). If a file name is not specified, the output is displayed on the terminal.
Perform the following procedure to back up Oracle server definitions on z/OS.
At the prompt, enter: export all <ds_name> * <xml_file1>
where ds_name is the name of a data source in the binding with Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways metadata defined for it.
Repeat the previous step for every data source with Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways metadata defined for it, changing the name of the output file for each data source.
The collection of output files together constitute a complete backup of all the Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways definitions on the machine.
GEN_ARRAY_TABLES
The GEN_ARRAY_TABLES command creates virtual tables for Adabas, CISAM, DBMS, DISAM, Enscribe, RMS, and VSAM arrays from existing metadata. The Adabas database can be accessed using ADD or Predict.
Virtual tables are created automatically by Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways when the metadata is created for the data source.
Perform the following procedure to run the GEN_ARRAY_TABLES command on z/OS platforms.
At the prompt, enter:
gen_array_tables <ds_name> <table>
Where:
ds_name: The data source name, as specified in the binding configuration.
table: The name of the table in the repository that is defined with an array. Use wildcards if you want to generate virtual tables for more than one table.
IMPORT
The IMPORT command enables you to import the contents of a valid XML document (formatted correctly for Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways) to the repository. You can import the following types of objects to the repository from an XML file:
User profile definitions
Binding information
Environment settings (per workspace)
Daemon configuration information
Table definitions that rely on ADD metadata (per data source)
name: The name of the data source for the object to be imported, as specified in the binding configuration, when the object is any of: table, local_table, view, procedure, local_procedure, and synonym.
The value of ds_name is used and not the value of the data source attribute in the XML file. The data source value is generated when using NAV_UTIL EXPORT. Thus, for example, if you export a table definition and then want to import the definition to another data source, you do not need to change the data source attribute value in the XML file before imported the file.
xml_file: The XML file to which the specified object is exported (output). If a file name is not specified, the output is displayed on the terminal.
When importing the following types of objects, you must specify SYS as the ds_name entry:
Binding information
Daemon configuration information
User profiles
Working environment configuration
IMS_MERGE
The IMS_MERGE command creates IMS ADDL and command files from COBOL ADDL files and IMS metadata. Perform the following procedure to run the IMS_MERGE command on z/OS platforms.
The IRPCDCMD is a utility for the z/OS platform that is used to perform management tasks on the daemon. This utility can be used from the IRPCDCMD REXX.
To use this utility, execute the IRPCDCMD script, located in navroot.userlib.
When you get the prompt, you can invoke the required command.
The LOCAL_COPY command extracts the data definition of a table or stored procedure from the data source catalogs and saves it to the repository. This utility enables you to improve query performance by creating a copy (“snapshot”) of the data source metadata, which is used instead of the data source metadata. The copy must be on the same machine as the data.
Perform the following procedure to run the LOCAL_COPY command on z/OS platforms.
At the prompt, enter:
local_copy <ds_name> <src_table>
Where:
ds_name: The data source name, as specified in the binding configuration.
src_table: The source table name (wildcards are allowed).
PASSWORD
The PASSWORD command allows you to define a master password.
Perform the following procedure to run the PASSWORD command on z/OS platforms.
At the prompt, enter:
password [-u<username>] <new_password>
If you have an existing password, you are prompted to specify it before defining the new master password.
SVC
The SVC command starts a server on the port specified.
Perform the following procedure to run the SVC command on z/OS platforms.
At the prompt, enter:
svc :<port-number>
TEST
The TEST command is for use only when instructed by Oracle Support.
UPDATE
The UPDATE command collects information about tables, indexes, and optionally column cardinalities, for use by the Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways Query Optimizer. Each time the utility is run, the resulting statistics overwrite previous statistics.
The UPDATE command collects information about tables, indexes, and optionally column cardinalities, for use by the Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways Query Optimizer. Each time the utility is run, the resulting statistics overwrite previous statistics.
This command can be used for all data sources (both those that require ADD metadata and relational data sources). For relational data sources, an entry is created in the Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways repository for the data source. An example of when statistics would be used for a relational driver is with SQL/MP, to generate index statistics in addition to the column statistics generated by SQL/MP.
Caution:
Executing the UPDATE command with the reset option deletes all statistics on the specified table.
Perform the following procedure to run the UPDATE command on z/OS platforms.
On z/OS platforms, remove metadata statistics as follows:
Run the following command: NAVROOT.USERLIB(navcmD)
Where NAVROOT is the high-level qualifier where Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways is installed.
At the prompt, enter:
update[_statistics] <ds_name> <table_name> reset
Where:
ds_name: The name of the data source, as specified in the binding configuration.
Note:
The data source must be local. For a remote data source, run the utility on the remote machine.
table_name: The name of the table. You can specify the wildcards * and % as part of the table name.
Note:
If you use a wildcard as part of the table name, only the default -All parameter is available (the column-options and index-options parameters are invalid).
EXACT: The exact statistical information is returned. Note that this option does not work with large tables.
rows row_num: The number of rows in the table. This value is used to shorten the time to produce the statistics, assuming that the value specified here is the correct value, or close to the correct value. It is recommended to specify a value for rows. The number of unique values per index is also returned.
When the number of rows in the table is not provided, the number of rows used is determined as the maximum value between the value specified in the tuningdsmMaxBufferSize parameter of the environment settings and the value set in the nRows attribute (specified as part of the metadata for the data source).
+All: Information about the table, indexes, partial indexes and columns is included in the output. The default is that only information about the table and indexes is included in the output and not information for partial indexes and columns.
column-options: The following column options can be specified:
+fcol_name1 +fcol_name2…: Returns information only about the specified table columns.
+f*: Returns information about all the table columns.
index-options: The following index options can be specified:
+i1 +i2 …: Returns information only about the specified indexes and partial indexes.
+i*: Returns information about all the table indexes.
If you want information about all the indexes and only some of the partial indexes, you can run the utility twice: once with the -All option and once with the +i1, +i2,... option for the required partial indexes.
Example A-2 Eliminating Statistics Samples
Local> update disam nation
Estimates the number of rows in the NATION table of the data source. The result is based on the number of nRows specified as part of the metadata for the data source and the amount of available memory as specified by the dsmMaxBufferSize parameter of the environment settings.
Local> update disam nation rows 100
Estimates the number of rows in the NATION table of the data source. The result is based on the number of rows specified (100). If the value specified here is the correct value, or close to the correct value, the time to calculate the statistics is shortened.
Local> update disam nation EXACT
Exact statistics for the NATION table of the data source are returned.
UPD_DS
To update the default binding configuration, use the UPD_DS command. This enables you to update the binding only with changes that involve specifying the connection information.
Perform the following procedure to run the UPD_DS command on z/OS platforms.
ds_name: The name of the data source to be added to the binding configuration.
ds_type: The name of the driver that is used when accessing the data source.
connect_string: The connect string to be used to access the data source.
UPD_SEC
To update the default user profile, use the UPD_SEC command. This enables you to update the user name and password for both a specific data source or machine in a user profile. Perform the following procedure to run the UPD_SEC command on z/OS platforms.
ds_name: The name of the data source, as specified in the binding configuration, to which the user profile is related.
machine[:port]: The name and, optionally, the port of the data source to which the user profile is related.
