DB2 API stage

Use the IBM® DB2® UDB API stage to access DB2 data from an IBM InfoSphere® DataStage® server job.

When you use IBM InfoSphere DataStage to access DB2 data from an IBM InfoSphere DataStage server job, you can choose from a collection of connectivity options. For most new jobs, use the DB2 Connector stage, which offers better functionality and performance than the DB2 API stage.

If you have jobs that use the DB2 API stage and want to use the connector, use the Connector Migration Tool to migrate jobs to use the connector.
