Hi All;
I have tried to find this info on the IBM site, but alas... We are
running DB2 v9.1.1 and making extensive use of Information Integrator
(now known as Websphere Federation Server?!) to access Oracle and
other DB2s (LUW, AS400 and z/OS).
We have some requirements to integrate Excel data. In looking at our
options 18 months ago (v8.2), we needed some additional Windows
components (drivers and ODBC communication software) to make this
happen beyond just installing a new wrapper. Some very high level
marketing-oriented docs imply this is no longer the case with v9. Can
anyone point me to the technical docs - manuals or Redbooks - for
Federation Server access to Excel from a Linux database server?
I'm trying to see what work we need to do to simply treat Excel as
another "relational " data source (never mind whether I actually think
this is a GOOD idea or not, I just want the technical requirements and
issues) using the power of federation. Thanks for any help or
direction.
