Can I use JDBC to access Documaker archives stored on an AIX machine with DB2?

No, you cannot use Java Database Connectivity to access Documaker archives via IDS.

You can, however, use unixODBC instead of Documaker’s native DB2 DBHandler. To do so, you must install unixODBC and follow IBM’s instructions for creating the DSO from the static library that comes with the DB2 client software on AIX to set up the DB2 client ODBC driver for unixODBC. This would let you use Documaker's ODBC DBHandler. And there may be solutions from other vendors which you can use to establish an ODBC-JDBC bridge. This would let you use JDBC indirectly through unixODBC.
