DB2 Connect Version 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
Overview
Access DB2 data from remote clients
The IBM® data server client provides
a runtime environment that enables client applications to access one
or more remote databases. With the IBM data server client,
you can remotely administer DB2® or DB2 Connect™ servers.
Binding database utilities on DB2 Connect
You must bind the database utilities (import, export, reorg,
the Command Line Processor) and CLI bind
files to each database before they can be used with that database.
Considerations for System z SYSPLEX exploitation
DB2
Connect provides load balancing and fault-tolerance when routing
connections to DB2 Sysplex.
When connected to a DB2 for z/OS® database
server running in a DB2 pureScale® environment, DB2 Connect will
spread the workload amongst the different DB2 subsystems comprising the data
sharing group, based on the system load and health information provided
by the Workload Manager (WLM). It uses the Distributor to route connections.
Use the group IP address to connect to a group location.
Conversion of character data
When character data is transferred between machines, it
must be converted to a form that the receiving machine can use.
System i and mainframe support for DB2 Connect
Before you access DB2 data on System z® or System i® data servers by using DB2 Connect products, ensure
that the data server meets requirements.
