Getting Started with Distributed Data Stores

This guide contains explanatory information and a series of tutorials that show you how to start using Data Express. The tutorials introduce the major features of Data Express in a number of short sessions, typically 10 - 30 minutes.

This guide is intended for customers who have the Data Express for Distributed Systems solution or for customers who have the Data Express for z/OS solution but have also purchased the additional ODBC Extension or Oracle Extension.

Note: Previous to the 4.0 release, the Data Express tool suite was intended for users who analyze and manage data stores from System z servers running z/OS. Now with the advent of Data Express 4.0, the suite of Data Express tools is available to non-mainframe users who can now analyze and manage data stores from Windows. In addition, Data Express 4.0 now provides support for distributed data stores for z/OS and Windows users, via the ODBC Extension and Oracle Extension.
