Library drda

DRDA Library supporting a very limited subset of operations.

Summary

  • The library currently provides functionality to: (1) Query the server for
basic settings using the getServerInfo function of the helper class. (2) Authenticate to a DB2 server using a plain-text username and password.

The library contains the following classes:

  • DRDA
** Implements the Distributed Relational Database Architecture class .
  • DRDAParameter
** Implements a number of functions to handle DRDA parameters.
  • DDM
** Implements the DDM portion of the DRDA structure
  • Command
** Provides functions for easy creation of the most common DRDAs. ** Implemented as a static class that returns an instance of the DRDA.
  • Helper
** A helper class that provides easy access to the rest of the library
  • DB2Socket
** A smallish socket wrapper that provides fundamental buffering
  • StringUtil
** Provides EBCDIC/ASCII conversion functions
  • Comm
** Provides fundamental communication support (send/receive DRDAPacket)
  • DRDAPacket
** A class holding one or more DRDA's and provides some basic access methods

The following sample code illustrates how scripts can use the Helper class to interface with the library: 

	db2helper = drda.Helper:new()
	status, err = db2helper:connect(host, port)
	status, res = db2helper:getServerInfo()
	status, err = db2helper:close()

The implementation is based on packet dumps and the excellent decoding provided by Wireshark.

There is some documentation at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dzichelp/v2r2/topic/com.ibm.db29.doc.drda/db2z_drda.htm.
