Is DB2 Connect installation and license installation during build/deploy a good way to ensure mainframe connectivity to IBM Blue zone? My PHP Cloud Foundry app is on w3ibm.bluemix.
If yes shall I update the forked PHP Buildpack on GIT, by adding DB2 Connect to it?
Or shall I use some sort of docker image for this?
Any other idea?
I found that there is no need to install a DB2 Connect. I could not install it anyway on Bluemix. There might be services for this, but at the end I had to use DB2 PHP extension of the PHP build-pack and after deploy I copied the license file to the license folder from PHP code. Details here.

I am actually planning to have a PostgreSQL instance on rhel7 linux vm running on google cloud platform,
Can you let me know the process for the same.
One more query is it ok to install postgresql on vm rather than going for a cloud sql instance on gcp?
Thanks,
Moin.
Just go to the PostgresSQL official downloads page for redhat and install the software.
You can get the RPMs there if you need to do an air-gapped installation.
You'll need to configure postgres later. See Posgres docs Chapter 18. Server Setup and Operation.
I am trying to install Discovery on the same server as IIS which already has a DB2 instance. As the Discovery installation guide says, to install with an existing DB2 instance the repository database must be manually configured. It then goes on to say that this can be done using scripts which are found under the install directory. In other words, before I install I have to use something only available after installation.
Has anyone got a workaround - a link to somewhere I can get the scripts perhaps?
I managed to get it working by installing onto a clean VM and then copying the scripts from the installation folder and other files referenced in the scripts onto the IIS server and running from there. Had to search and replace the DB2 install directory within the scripts as they expect a default install of :\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB whereas the IIS default install of DB2 is to \IBM\SQLLIB.
I am trying to configure my project with IBM WAS 8.5.5.12 with J.D.K 1.8 and need type 4 driver for connection.
I'm assuming you are talking about DB2 for z/OS.
Then the answer can be found here. The important parts:
The db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar file is included in all DB2 Connect server editions including DB2 Connect Personal Edition. The license is also part the IBM Database Enterprise Developer Edition. If you already have one of these products, then please use the license file from the DB2 Connect Activation CD. If you have a Passport Advantage account, then remember to download the activation key from Passport Advantage for the DB2 Connect edition that you have purchased.
The db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar file is located in the /db2/license directory of the activation CD or activation file downloaded from Passport Advantage.
And:
I don't have a DB2 Connect product. Now what do I do?
If you do not have the file, then you must purchase a DB2 Connect product so that you may license the JDBC driver to connect to a mainframe.
Probably your DB2 administrators can provide you with the files...
I downloaded what I believe to be the latest copy of Dreamfactory for Windows from Bitnami bitnami-dreamfactory-1.8.2-0-windows-installer.exe. I would like to connect to an IBM DB2 remote database. In using the Admin Console I don't see an option in the SQL Vendor dropdown for IBM DB2. Did I miss a configuration step? If not, what do I need to do to configure IBM DB2 as a Remote SQL DB? I can't seem to find a reference in the documentation for how to do this.
Update
I just installed the Bitnami Ubuntu vmware appliance and it has a DB2 dropdown. Therefore, there is a flaw in the Windows 1.8.2 self installer.
With a quick test of the windows installer, we did confirm the DB2 value is in the dropdown menu. Please try to refresh the window frame or clear browser cache to see if that helps.
Also, the Bitnami package released for 1.8.2 currently doesn't have the db2 driver installed by default. We are working on getting another build that has better default setup. In the mean time, this link has the Windows instructions. I will try to get a more detailed instruction set for Windows.
Past two days, I was trying to install ATG in my windows machine using the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide.
I am able to install,
Oracle ATG Web Commerce platform
Oracle ATG Web Commerce Search
Then before installing CIM, I tried to configure the database. I am using MySQL 5.6.13.
In the section Creating Database Tables for ATG Portal, they asked to run the following command to run the script
install-mysql userid password database
but in the above command, what database name I should give?
Please guide me on this.
Thanks.
Assuming you are installing the Commerce Reference Store (CRS) you can use the following:
crsprod
as specified on page 9 of the CRS installation guide
If you are not using CRS, you can use whatever name you want since you then need to configure it in your DataSource files.
