Can IDS access a Documaker archive on a different platform?

For example, if the Documaker system runs on a z/OS system and stores legacy Documaker archives in a DB2 database, can you retrieve the archived data from IDS running on a Windows system?

Yes. The legacy Documaker archive system has two DBLib methods for handling this. You can use...

The native DB2 DBLib driver. This driver can use either the thick DB2 access or the thinner CAE support.

A DBLib driver for access via ODBC-to-DB2.

Another example is of IDS accessing a legacy Documaker archive in Oracle on a UNIX platform via the DBLib ODBC driver to retrieve or archive data.
