Re: SAP Sysbase ASE driver for db2 on zLinux

2020-08-04 Thread Timothy Sipples
IBM includes this note in its support matrix for Db2 Federation (
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/957245):

"For other data sources not listed in Table 4, customer can also use 
federation server to access them and perform basic operations like 
querying remote data via JDBC wrapper, as long as the required JDBC driver 
comply with 6.0 standard. But they are not optimized so there might be 
some data types and functions not supported well and the performance is 
not expected to be as good as the optimized data sources."

The reference to "6.0 standard" must be an error since there is no JDBC 
6.0 yet. That could mean JDBC 4.0 (or higher) since the JDBC 4.0 
specification was introduced with Java 6.

So have you tried a JDBC driver for Sybase ASE, such as jConnect (filename 
probably jconn4.jar), jTDS, or possibly Progress Software's? For example, 
jConnect is included with SAP's SDK for ASE, and the driver itself is a 
single file that should be named jconn4.jar.

SAP Sysbase ASE driver for db2 on zLinux

2020-08-04 Thread Grzegorz Powiedziuk
Hello,
Does anyone have any experience with Sysbase ASE and zLinux?
We run Sysbase database on some other architecture but we have a db2
instance on zLinux which needs to be able to communicate with Sysbase via
this driver. This driver is not available in db2 federation.
I apologize if I am mixing terms but hopefully for someone who knows this
stuff it will be clear what I am asking about.
There is a sysbase client (which I was told includes the driver a db2
needs) on their website available for download, but there is no s390
version in there. There is AIX, pLinux, regular linux ... but no Z. I am
hoping that there is a workaround or some open source driver which might
replace this.
thanks
Best regards
Gregory P
