Hi Asad,

there is SAP Note 1257635 DB4: DBSL Direct Drive for DB2 for IBM i (DB2/400)

describing everything in detail.

To make it short: If you have XDN configured you should find the profile entry

dbs/db4/driver_type = DBSLDirectDrive or dbs/db4/driver_type = XDN in your profiles (instanz-, start- or default profile)

XDN would also produce jobs in the subsystem QUSRWRK where the jobname begins with XDN<SID>.

Best regards,

Joachim
