Yes, a client-only license would be a "non technical" resolution. However it still requires an entire DB2 server setup on the LPAR, even if no "local databases" (other than the communications database and other "system" databases) are ever used. ________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Timothy Sipples <sipp...@sg.ibm.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2017 11:30 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: LPAR to LPAR access

No idea, but it probably doesn't hurt to ask. "Best guess" is that such a construction wouldn't be relevant to Judith's case. She has Db2 already, so adding Db2 to another LPAR would be incremental Db2 MSUs, comparatively affordable. (Or maybe not even incremental MSUs, depending on 4HRA peaks.) Hypothetical client only Db2 code/licensing would presumably be a separate license. Also (and repeating myself), it's important to compare Db2 data sharing with any other options on the table, on an "all in" basis.
