Accesses DB2 with entity framework 6 on visual studio 2015
<p>I'm trying to access DB2 V10 over z/OS via visual studio 2015 and entity framework 6.</p>

<p>After some research i found some promising article - <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/techarticle/dm-0903linqentity/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/techarticle/dm-0903linqentity/</a></p>

<p>However the example used is for 2010 and the same Add-in is not getting installed for 2015. </p>

<p>Is there any better way of doing this with the combination of VS 2015 + EF6?
Am i missing anything?</p>

<p><strong>Note</strong> : I don't have the luxury of using third part software's to accomplish the task.</p>

<p>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)</p>
