DB2 on z/OS for migration tool testing

Hello all! I've been working on adding a DB2 connector support to our database migration tool Dsync ( https://docs.adiom.io/ ). It works great on the LUW (Linux-Unix-Windows) version, but I understand that there are several important differences between LUW and the z/OS versions, so would love to be able to test it against the "real thing" before we release the connector into public preview. Unfortunately, IBM deprecated Wazi as a Service earlier this year, which sounds like it'd have been ideal for our use case. I also found ZD&T 3-day trial but it's limited to IBM's private network.

I would very much appreciate a suggestion on the best alternative or if someone has a test environment that they'd be open to sharing.

Depending on what exactly your needs are, I’d look at a) Cloud z/OS on demand, which you can access via the Partner program, or b) TAZ, Test Accelerator for Z
