Product Overview

RC/Query for Db2 is architected to provide interactive viewing and management of Db2 objects and their relationships within the z/OS environment. The main components include the ISPF interface, which provides the user interaction layer; the query engine, responsible for processing SQL queries; and the Db2 connector, which facilitates communication with the Db2 database. These components communicate through internal z/OS mechanisms.

The tool integrates with z/OS security systems such as RACF, ACF2, and Top Secret for authentication and authorization. It leverages Db2's access control model, using privileges and authorities to manage object access. Configuration files, accessed via ISPF, store user preferences and connection details.

Monitoring and logging are performed through Db2's facilities and z/OS system logs. Unlike some competitors, RC/Query for Db2 is specifically designed for z/OS, offering a tightly integrated solution. It uses standard Db2 protocols for communication and relies on Db2's storage mechanisms.
