Data Express for z/OS can be used in either Standard or Client/Server mode, whereas
Data Express for Distributed Systems can only be used in Standard mode:
- Standard – Supports direct access to the data resident on RDBMS from your PC.
- Client/Server – Supports access to the data resident on RDBMS through the kbde-Server: a product based on a three-tier architecture
where the second tier handles data transfer optimization. Client/Server mode lets you access data over the Internet with the
lowest amount of administration necessary and the best utilization of network capacity.
Note: Client/Server mode can use the same functions as Standard mode without you having to install additional software on your PC,
such as the DB2 client or the Borland Database Engine (BDE).
For
Data Express configuration information and instructions, see:
- Appendix A. Standard Mode in the
Front End Guide.
- Appendix B. Client/Server Mode in the
Front End Guide and in
