I got this done using pass-through query, I'm now able to retrieve data from
DB2 and speed seems good. My pass-through query looks like this:

SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY(TSTESA5, 'SELECT * FROM DON1.ETAX_W2')
where W2_FIDN = '68052889600'

TSTESA5 is the linked server name
ETAX_W2 is the table
W2_FIDN is column
