A data archive retirement project uses PowerExchange ODBC to access IMS and VSAM data sources on z/OS. This implementation includes the following systems and components:
A z/OS system with the IMS and VSAM data sources.
On this system, you will install PowerExchange 9.1.0 HotFix 4 or later.
A Linux, UNIX, or Windows system that has the following type of storage and software:
Informatica Data Archive engine 5.3.7 or later
Data Vault Server
NFS or local storage for the encapsulated BCP files
On this system, you will install PowerExchange 9.1.0 HotFix 4 or later. You will also copy the DataDirect Driver Manager and define PowerExchange ODBC data sources.
Database repository for ILM, PowerCenter, and DVO schema.
Validation server with the PowerCenter Domain, PowerCenter Client, FAS ODBC, and DVO installed.
On this system, you will install PowerExchange and define PowerExchange ODBC data sources.
A Microsoft Windows system.
On this system, you will install PowerExchange 9.1.0 HotFix 4 or later and run the PowerExchange Navigator.
The following figure illustrates the implementation. In this figure, PWX represents PowerExchange, PC represents PowerCenter, and DD represents DataDirect.
