If you have a JDBC compliant driver for DB2 then you can use the "Other" category and define the classpath and other parameters for that driver. I've done this for the MS SQL Server JDBC Driver on the windows platform. I can't imagine it being much different on the Linux platform.
1. Copy the driver .class files to the /<CFInstall>/lib/ folder 2. Set up the Datasource in the CFAdmin using the "Other" option. 3. fill in the JDBC URL, Driver Class and Driver Name using the values provided in the documentation for your driver (never used DB2 so can't help with this one...) 4) use the appropriate username/password for access to the database. 5) Add the appropriate paths to your driver class files to the CFAdmin Java settings (one path for each driver .class file). 6) Restart ColdFusionMX.
