Hi there.  
I am new to Adabas and Adabas SQL Gateway. We are looking to install SQL Gateway V6.8 (CONNX install guide 11.5) and have a question in regards if the JDBC Server component resides on Windows only or can reside on a Unix server. THe documentation only seems to show diagrams that depict the CONNX JDBC Server as Windows based configuration although it mentions installing it on Unix as well. We have a Adabas installation on ZOS. It is not clear to us if the Unix JDBC Server is a valid configuration to access Adabas ZOS.

What is the normal or recommended platform for hosting the JDBC Server component to access Adabas ZOS?  
Thanks.

The JDBC Server can be hosted on z/Linux, HPUX, AIX, Solaris or Linux. If you have the option of hosting it on z/Linux that will give you the best performance due to hipersocket usage between z/OS and z/Linux.

Ok thanks. We do not have Z/linux and will likely host on AIX.

Hi Jim.

AIX is a good choice, because you avoid the “Big-Little-Endian” issue.
