DB2 Connect vs. DB2 in an AIX environment

I have an application that uses IBM DB2 Universal Data Base Version 8.2
to update DB2 tables on a RS/6000 platform.

I would like to change it to update DB2 tables on an IBM Mainframe
using DB2 Connect.

My question is whether this will be transparent to the application?
Thanx,
Joe Jadick

Yes. In fact, technically speaking the only thing you really need is the
DB2 Connect license installed because the code to connect to the mainframe
is now included in DB2 clients (but IBM still requires you purchase a DB2
Connect License for mainframe connectivity). But if you use DB2 Connect on a
gateway machine instead of purchasing licenses for each workstation, then
the configuration will be a little different.

But the application code should be the same, assuming that it following IBM
SQL standards for cross platform development (see the manual of the same
name).

The Oracle DBA set me up as a user and installed the Oracle client on my box and I have the tnsnames file, but I still can't establish a connection to the database from my...

A tale of woe, and a question . . . Last week my boss said to me "we've installed DB2 Connect on this Solaris box. Make it work." Now, I've barely seen DB2 Connect on Windows, having fumbled thru one install and config, with a lot of handholding from IBM Support. I'm comfortable in unix but have never dealt with DB2 Connect there. (my main job is as an Oracle DBA, and most of my db's are on Solaris or AIX) I've found the install...

Hi, I'm using a non-blocking connect to connect to a server. Works fine -- the server gets and accepts the connection. However, once the connection is established, I cannot retrieve either the local or the remote endpoint from the client-side socket. The *really* strange thing is that Socket.LocalEndPoint is null. According to the doc, that's impossible: reading the LocalEndPoint

Hi all, Is it possible to have two connects in the same rexx script to different DB's? I have to get data form on DB (with specifics selects and filter out some values with RExx) and save the results into another DB? I know from Wscripts and MS-Sql that you can build just two objects but I did not see something like that in REXX. Thanks in advance for your help

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
