Customizing QMF to work with a DB2 for AIX server require some changes both on the host and the server.
QMF uses the distributed data facility (DDF) to access distributed data that resides in a DB2 UDB for AIX database. The DDF of DB2 UDB for z/OS is a VTAM application that uses LU 6.2 communications protocols to communicate with other database management systems or applications that support Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA). Information about connecting distributed database systems for access to data from QMF for TSO/CICS is in the DB2 UDB for z/OS Administration Guide.
From DB2 UDB for z/OS, the communications database (CDB) tables are used to control access between remote database management systems. If you plan to use DB2 UDB for z/OS as a server only, you do not need to populate the CDB; default values are used. However, if you intend to request data from remote databases, you must update the CDB tables. These topics are described in the DB2 UDB for z/OS Installation Guide.
At the DB2 UDB for AIX server, you must issue a CREATE DATABASE command before installing QMF into that database. Verify that APPC communications are defined and operational between the DB2 UDB for z/OS for z/OS DRDA application requester and the DB2 for AIX DRDA application server.
