Looking for IBM DB2 Z/OS driver for Qlik Replicate

qlik_admin_lm — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 21:09:11 GMT

We are looking for the file v11.5.6_linuxx64_server_dec.tar.gz which is called out on Page 269 of the Qlik Replicate User Guide as the file to download to install the appropriate ODBC driver to connect from Qlik Replicate to IBM DB2 Z/OS.

We have been all over IBM's Support Fix site trying to find this file and cannot find it. When we search on "IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC" all we can find is a client file called v11.5.6_linuxx64_client.tar.gz that doesn't appear to work.

Any idea where we can find the correct file?

Does this help out?

From my experience the DB2 are finicky to set up compared to MS-SQL and Oracle.

That's actually the site we've been looking at. We are just unsure because the file name you download from there is different from what the manual states. We haven't been able to get a successful connection and we're not sure if it's because we don't have the correct file or some other reason.

@qlik_admin_lm

notes the user guide :

Install v11.5.6_linuxx64_server_dec.tar.gz and choose the “CLIENT” option.

so it could be that IBM does not provide the server tar.gz and now split it to be the client . so v11.5.6_linuxx64_client.tar.gz should be correct.
