问题
I'm trying to access DB2 V10 over z/OS via visual studio 2015 and entity framework 6.
After some research i found some promising article - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/techarticle/dm-0903linqentity/
However the example used is for 2010 and the same Add-in is not getting installed for 2015.
Is there any better way of doing this with the combination of VS 2015 + EF6? Am i missing anything?
Note : I don't have the luxury of using third part software's to accomplish the task.
I have tried to install "IBM Database Add-ins" (acquired from the above link itself). This was not successful and below is the installation log details for your reference (if this helps)
Property(C): GENERIC_DLG_TITLE = IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio Setup
Property(C): p_DotNetFWInstalled = YES
Property(C): p_DotNetFW11Installed = NO
Property(C): p_DotNetFW20Installed = YES
Property(C): p_DotNetFW40Installed = YES
Property(C): p_vsnet2005Installed = NO
Property(C): VS90_INSTALLDIR = c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\
Property(C): p_vsnet2008Installed = YES
Property(C): VS90_ENVDIR = c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\
Property(C): VS2015_INSTALLDIR = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\
Property(C): p_vsnet2015Installed = YES
Property(C): VS2015_ENVDIR = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\

Any help is appreciated.

This is specifically for VS2015 and EF6 combination.
IBM has released support for VS 2015 recently. Details in below URL
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21973622
We need to install the 'DSDriver' package, and then 'VSAI' from the following URL's
http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/selectFixes?parent=ibm~Information%2BManagement&product=ibm/Information+Management/IBM+Data+Server+Client+Packages&release=All&platform=All&function=fixId&fixids=special_35031_DSClients-nt32-dsdriver-10.5.600.232-FP006%3A261152981044664224&includeSupersedes=0
http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/selectFixes?parent=ibm~Information%2BManagement&product=ibm/Information+Management/IBM+Data+Server+Client+Packages&release=All&platform=All&function=fixId&fixids=special_35031_DSClients-nt32-vsai-10.5.600.232-FP006%3A397686600281130112&includeSupersedes=0
Then you can hopefully see a data source for connecting DB2 databases.
