- Driver support
- Data
Studio has
the following software requirements on the client platform:
- To run IBM Installation
Manager, Java Runtime Environment
1.6 is required. An instance of JRE 1.6 is bundled with the product
and installed during the product installation.
- To run SQL statements, you must have access to the IBM Java Database
Connectivity (JDBC) Type 4 driver. This JDBC Type 4 driver is included
with Data
Studio.
You can select a different JDBC driver if necessary.
On Linux systems, if the class location of your
JDBC driver (db2jcc.jar and license) is not automatically populated,
check the DB2INSTANCE environment variable. This variable should be
set to the local DB2® instance
name, for example, export DB2INSTANCE=db2inst1. The value of the variable
is case sensitive. Otherwise, you can specify the location manually.
- To run commands and utilities that cannot be run through the JDBC
driver, you must use one of the following alternative protocols that
the workbench supports:
- The DB2 Administration Server
(DAS) protocol, which is supplied by DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows V9.7
and earlier
- The Secure Shell (SSH) protocol
- The Microsoft Windows Server Message Broker
(SMB) protocol
For information about the configuration and set up that is
required for using DAS, SSH, or SMB, and SFTP, see Configuration for remote operations.
- To browse and access the file system on a remote server, the Secure
File Transfer (SFTP) protocol is used.
- To connect to a DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows database
as a Sybase database the ANTs software is required.
- The following client drivers are required:
