PTF on as400 V5r3m0

IBM DB2 is a family of relational database server products developed by IBM that have been extended to support object-relational features and non-relational structures like JSON and XML. There are three main products in the DB2 family: DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (informally known as DB2 LUW), DB2 for z/OS (mainframe), and DB2 for i (formerly OS/400), plus a version for IBM's Virtual Storage Extended (VSE) operating system.

A mainframe operating system is networking software infrastructure that allows a mainframe computer to run programs, connect linked machines, and process complex numerical and data-driven tasks. Modern mainframe design is generally defined by redundant internal engineering, extensive input-output facilities, strict backward compatibility with older software, high hardware and computational utilization rates and high stability and reliability. Well-known operating systems include IBM z/OS, z/VM, zTPF, z/VSE, OS/390, and their predecessors, along with MCP for Unisys ClearPath, and NonStop OS/Guardian on HP/Tandem, and questions regarding the IBM midrange operating system called IBM i, OS/400, and i5/OS.

Mainframe OS

IBM i, formerly known as AS/400, is a proprietary, midrange, object-based operating and application system. It includes a relational database, a menu-driven interface, support for multiple users, block-oriented terminal support and printers, and supports security, communications, and web-based application servers including Websphere, Apache and Tomcat.
