Issue/Introduction

I'm trying to create the Model of a DB2 Z/Os (version10.1) database in CA TDM 4.7 (Modeling / Data Model).

The bind of the packages on the DB2 Mainframe to set the parameter DESCSTAT=Y is done. Yet, we still have an issue.

The connection is working, but when we try to "scan" the database, we receive the following

error (1) job:1070 profile: DB2TEST: : failed to get metadata for conprof: DB2KTEST with exception: SqlException: [jcc][10150][10300][4.24.92] Invalid parameter: Unknown column name TABLE_SCHEM. ERRORCODE=-4460, SQLSTATE=null, (2)
Failed to scan entities for profile DB2TEST, reason: TDMDatabaseException: job: 1070 profile: DB2TEST: : failed to get metadata for conprof: DB2TEST with exception: SqlException: [jcc][10150][10300][4.24.92] Invalid parameter: Unknown column name TABLE_SCHEM.

Resolution

Researching the TDM Documentation - 
Supported Data Sources (broadcom.com)

Looking at the DB2 table I see Data Modeling and PII Audits are supported for DB2 versions 11, and 12 for Z/OS. DB2 10.1 Z/OS is not a supported Data Source.

However, the customer was able to provide a solution that worked for their Environment.

Their solution:
1) MAINFRAME : « BIND/REBIND » of the STORED PROCEDURE with zparms set to « DESCSTAT=YES ». 
List of the components that are affected:

- SYSIBM.SQLTABLES 
- SYSIBM.SQLPRIMARYKEYS 
- SYSIBM.SQLSTATISTICS 
- SYSIBM.SQLFOREIGNKEYS 
- SYSIBM.SQLCOLUMNS
- DSNATBLU. 

2) MAINFRAME : Execute the JOB DSNTIJMS
