Oracle 7.3 AIX - CICS/DB2 Online connection

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how I should create a connection between an Oracle 7.3 database on AIX (RS/6000) server and an CICS/DB2 application on an IBM Mainframe (MVS).

It should be a nice, simple and extreemely stable connection like APPC or MQ and NOT a tricky one like 3270-emulation on AIX and "screen scraping".

My plan is to create a stored procedure in the Oracle 7.3 database, which calls (by using an MQ or APPC application on AIX) an application on the mainframe and returns some values out of the DB2-database.

I'm only experienced in Oracle and I don't know anything about connections between an RS/6000 and IBM mainframe.

So in short:
- Which application do I need on AIX?

• Which application do I need on MVS?
• Can I call an AIX-application from a strored procedure?
• Can you tell me your experience with this all? Thanks a lot and greetings,
