This example illustrates how to connect to an IBM DB2 database through ODBC.

Prerequisites:

•IBM Data Server Client must be installed and configured on your operating system (this example uses IBM Data Server Client 9.7). For installation instructions, check the documentation supplied with your IBM DB2 software. After installing the IBM Data Server Client, check if the ODBC drivers are available on your machine (see Viewing the Available ODBC Drivers).

1. Access DB2 databases from BI, analytics, and reporting tools, through easy-to-use bi-directional data drivers. Our Drivers make integration a snap, providing an easy-to-use interface for working with IBM DB2 systems.
2. Setting up an ODBC Data Source Connection to a DB2 database. Register the DB2 database with the ODBC driver manager as a data source. On Windows 95 and Windows NT, you can make the data source available to all users of the system (a system data source) or only the current user (a user data source).

•Create a database alias. There are several ways to do this:

oFrom IBM DB2 Configuration Assistant

oFrom IBM DB2 Command Line Processor

oFrom the ODBC data source wizard (for this case, the instructions are shown below)

Db2 Warehouse In the web console for Db2 Warehouse, click Connect Connection Information and select the driver for your operating system. Db2 on Cloud and Db2 Warehouse on Cloud In the Db2 on Cloud and Db2 Warehouse on Cloud web console, click the gear icon next to your user name, and select Connection info. Select your operating system to. The JDBC driver is used to connect a Java-based application to an IBM DB2 database that is running on either the same machine or a remote machine. In a clustered deployment of Tivoli Identity Manager, the JDBC driver enables all the Tivoli Identity Manager servers to communicate with the data source and share information.

•You have the following database connection details: host, database, port, username, and password.

To connect to IBM DB2:

1.Start the database connection wizard and selectIBM DB2 (ODBC/JDBC).

2.Click Next.

3.Select ODBC, and click Next. If prompted to edit the list of known drivers for the database, select the database drivers applicable to IBM DB2 (see Prerequisites), and click Next.

4.Select the IBM DB2 driver from the list, and then click Connect. (To edit the list of available drivers, click Edit Drivers, and then check or uncheck the IBM DB2 drivers you wish to add or remove, respectively.)

5.Enter a data source name (in this example, DB2DSN), and then click Add.

6.On the Data Source tab, enter the user name and password to the database.
