About DB2 Connect

DB2 Connect, IBM’s database management system, makes host data directly available to Personal Computers and LAN-based workstations. It connects desktop and palm-top applications to mainframe and minicomputer host databases, leveraging enterprise information no matter where it is.

DB2 Connect provides the application enablement and communication infrastructure for connecting Web, Windows, UNIX, Linux, OS/2 and mobile applications to S/390 and AS/400 data. It also enables secure access to legacy data through intranets, extranets or the public Internet, allowing you to build new Internet applications and extend existing applications.

DB2 Connect is included in many of the DB2 UDB products, providing extensive application programming tools for developing client-server and web applications using industry standard APIs such as ODBC, ADO, OLE DB, JDBC, SQLJ, DB2 CLI and Embedded SQL.

About the DB2 Connect Adapter

The Adapter enables Sun Java CAPS ESB Projects to exchange data with external DB2 databases. This document describes how to install and configure the Adapter.

The DB2 Connect Adapter connects to DB2 via the IBM DB2 Connect driver, which is NOT packaged with the Adapter. The product must be separately installed and configured.
