Preface

The Oracle Transparent Gateway for iWay provides users with transparent access to iWay Server databases as if they were Oracle databases.  This guide describes how to install and configure the gateway.

Intended Audience

Read this guide if you are responsible for performing tasks such as installing, configuring, administering, or using the Oracle Transparent Gateway for iWay.

You must understand the fundamentals of OS/390 operating systems, Oracle Net, and Oracle gateways before using this guide for installation or system administration.  This guide provides information only on Oracle products and their interactions with OS/390.

Documentation Accessibility

Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle Corporation is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers. For additional information, visit the Oracle Accessibility Program Web site at http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/.

Accessibility of Code Examples in Documentation

JAWS, a Windows screen reader, may not always correctly read the code examples in this document. The conventions for writing code require that closing braces should appear on an otherwise empty line; however, JAWS may not always read a line of text that consists solely of a bracket or brace.

Accessibility of Links to External Web Sites in Documentation

This documentation may contain links to Web sites of other companies or organizations that Oracle does not own or control. Oracle neither evaluates nor makes any representations regarding the accessibility of these Web sites.

Conventions Used in this Guide

Examples of input and output to the system are shown in a special font:

//SYSIN   DSN=oran.orav.INSTJCL(member)

All output is shown as it actually appears.  For input, the following conventions apply:

• UPPERCASE -- such as SYSIN, indicates that a word or phrase must be entered exactly as spelled.

• Italic font -- indicates that a word or phrase of your choice must be substituted for the term in Italic font, such as with the actual member name.  For example: member

• oran.orav -- is the standard example for high-level and second-level qualifiers.  Substitute your system's actual high-level and second-level qualifiers.  These qualifiers may appear in lowercase or in UPPERCASE typeface.

• <> Angle brackets -- indicate that the enclosed arguments are required, and that at least one of the arguments must be entered.  Do not enter the brackets themselves.

• [ ] Square brackets -- indicate that the enclosed arguments are optional.  Do not enter the brackets themselves.

• { } Braces -- indicate that one of the enclosed arguments is required.  Do not enter the braces themselves.

• | Vertical lines -- separate choices.

• ... Ellipses -- indicate that the preceding item can be repeated.  You can enter an arbitrary number of similar items.

• Other punctuation -- must be entered as shown unless otherwise specified.  For example, commas, quotes, or the pipe symbol (|).

Commands, reserved words, and keywords appear in UPPERCASE in both examples and text.  Reserved words and keywords must always be entered as is, because they have reserved meanings within Oracle applications.  Directory names, fileids, and so on, can appear with both uppercase and lowercase text.  The same convention is used when these names appear in text, where the names may be highlighted in bold.  When portions of a fileid appear in italic typeface, the use of italic characters indicates that those portions can vary.

SQL*Plus Prompts

The SQL*Plus prompt, SQL>, appears in examples of SQL statements and SQL*Plus commands.  Enter your response at the prompt.  Do not enter the text of the prompt (SQL>) in your response.

Storage Measurements

Storage measurements use the following abbreviations:

• K, for kilobyte, which equals 1024 bytes

• M, for megabyte, which equals 1 048 576 bytes

• G, for gigabyte, which equals 1 073 741 824 bytes

Switches

Switches are listed with a brief description and any OS/390-specific information.  Refer to the product-specific documentation for syntax and for a thorough description of its purpose.  Before using a command line option switch, such as -A or -C, refer to the appropriate product-specific documentation.
