Any plans to support access to DB2 via a TCP/IP transport?
I have a customer using the gateway today via the
DECnet/SNA LU6.2 product and they would like to use a direct TCP/IP
connection to the IBM system.
Any plans in this direction? Or who do I mail for a definative answer?

Not TCP/IP all the way but pretty close.
DEC SNA LU6.2 V2.4 supports TCP/IP as a transport to the DEC SNA Gateway.
If that SNA Gateway is a Domain Server then you hop to the mainframe via
an SNA controlled channel connection. If the Gateway is a Peer Server
then you can use the token ring/FDDI/SDLC to hop to the mainframe.
In other words, TCP/IP is the wide area transport and it's just the last
jump to mainframe which is SNA.
The DBI/DB2 Gateway should be able to use VMS LU62 V2.4 just fine.

Thanks for the answer.
But the client is keen to go all the way with TCP/IP and avoid using
the LU6.2 layer altogether.
I guess we have no plans for this then?

Sorry Colin, there are no plans currently to support TCP all the way...
