I use IBM Data Studio (4.1.3 and 4.1.4) to develop stored procedures (native) and functions on DB2 Z/OS (V12) and DB2 LUW. Unfortunately Data Studio is slow and keeps crashing.
Do you know valid alternatives that can be used on both Z / OS and LUW systems?
Thanks.

I have an old application handling data on a DB2 server (Linux version, 9.7 express-c) and I need to upgrade the server. I searched on the IBM site and I found that the last "free" version (11.5) is the only one available, but I cannot restore a backup taken from a 9.7 directly into the 11.5.
Is there any other way instead of using db2look and db2move?
Do anyone know if it's possible to find the 11.1 developer Linux version?
You can download the server-fixpack via https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6427871
( IBM registration is required ),
This is an indirect way to IBM passport advantage website. It's important to choose the "DB2 Server Fix Pack" as distinct from other images. It is wise to always download the most recent fixpack for the release when using the Server-Fixpack, these fixpacks are cumulative and do not require the base version to be preinstalled.
You can get a trial license with it and just do the intermediate restore (from the v9.7 backup-image into a disposable Db2 v11.1 instance, then backup that database offline and copy the image to a place accessible to your Db2 v11.5 new instance.
You can then drop the v11.1 db2instance, and uninstall the Db2 v11.1 product.
Finally restore that Db2 v11.1 backup image into your Db2 v11.5 instance. This will upgrade the database to the Db2 v11.5 release, consider running db2updv115 afterwards, and revalidating all objects with SYSPROC.ADMIN_REVALIDATE_DB_OBJECTS etc.
Whether the above indirect method is quicker (or easier) than using db2move to export and load, will depend on the complexity of your database. Worth checking...if your Db2 v9.7 instance is still running of course.
Other methods are possible, if you want to spend $$ on recovery tools that extract data from backup images.
We are in the process of evaluating redshift for our Cognos Analytics 11.0.11 system. We started seeing weird issues when after publishing a package (CQM mode) so we opened a ticket with IBM and they said Cognos works with redshift only in DQM mode. Is this correct? Have you used Cognos in CQM mode?
Not surprising.
The CQM engine is quite old and connects to datasources through native DB drivers (e.g. if you're connecting to Oracle, you have to install and configure the Oracle client on the Cognos server).
The DQM engine is much newer and uses JDBC drivers exclusively (no requirement to install DB client on the Cognos server).
This is my first time building a .NET application that connects to a DB2 database, and I really have no idea where to begin as I've never worked with DB2 before.
Here's what I've done so far:
Installed IBM.Data.DB2.EntityFramework
Installed IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries
Installed Entity Framework 6
Now when I try to create a code first model, I don't see DB2 in the list of available data sources, so I'm guessing I need to figure that out first.
What do I need to do to get DB2 added as a data source? I know it's possible because I can see it in the first screenshot in this previously answered question.
you have to install IBM Data Server Client Packages and IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio
I trying to connect to DB2 database through SQL Developer. I followed following steps create connection:
1. Open SQL Developer
2. Go to Tools > Preferences > Database > Third Party JDBC Drivers.
3. I added third-party JDBC driver path entries (db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cu.jar)
As soon as I try to create connection I get below error
Oracle SQL-Developer Version 17.2 works fine for me with Db2 Version 11 for Linux x64 and I am using a recent Type-4 jdbc (db2jcc4.jar) driver from IBM.
You question shows that your Db2 jdbc driver version is very old (Version 9.7 fixpack 5) and out of support, so you should upgrade to the latest available Db2 client for your (unspecified) operating-system. Also you should ensure you are using the latest release of the Oracle-SQL-Developer for your operating system.
As your question gives no facts about your versions of Oracle or Db2 products or operating systems, this is the best advice that is possible.
I got the same problem, it turned out SQL Developer doesn't display tables for DB2, but still allows to perform SQL queries. If you know table names, you will be able to select data from those tables if you have enough permissions to do so.
You can test ability to perform SQL queries by selecting DB2 version (SQL below is valid for DB2 12.0)
SELECT GETVARIABLE('SYSIBM.VERSION') AS VERSION FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1;
Make sure you don't forget to specify schema while selecting data from your tables!
select * from schema.table_name;
I am using JDBC to connect to my microsoft access database.
I get the following exception when I try to connect to the database:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
I am using 64bit windows7, and I am using eclipse which is also a 64bit version My database is a microsoft access database and it seems that the driver is a 32bit driver which is causing the problem.
Any help on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Check out the access 2010 redist
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable
This download will install a set of components that can be used by non-Microsoft Office applications to read data from and write data to Office 2010 system files such as Microsoft Access 2010 (mdb and accdb) files and Microsoft Excel 2010 (xls, xlsx, and xlsb) files. Connectivity to text files is also supported.
ODBC and OLEDB drivers are installed for application developers to use in developing their applications with connectivity to Office file formats.
This should suit your needs. Good luck!
I don't have enough reputation yet to vote Yoda up, but I have to say that his solution is the most elegant I've come across. You could have also used a 32-bit JVM, but that is kind of silly. (If you encounter this on IIS you can make the application pool 32-bit, which is sort of the same thing.)
