Note. DB2 UDB for OS/390 and z/OS is the official IBM name for the database management system (DBMS). In the current PeopleTools release, Oracle no longer supports the OS/390 operating system, only z/OS, its replacement. For the sake of brevity, this PeopleBook sometimes refers to DB2 UDB for OS/390 and z/OS as DB2 z/OS, and it sometimes refers to DB2 UDB for Linux, UNIX, and Windows as DB2 UNIX/NT.
