Compatibility with Db2 for z/os V13

[feal]

Good morning

actually we use Qllik with IBM Db2 for z/os V12 NFM as Source Endpoint

We are planning migration to IBM for z/os V13 but Qlik does not support it (we expected that in MAy 2023 release that endboint should be included)

Please can you tell us what is the "official" release of Qlik that will include DB2 V13 as supported DBMC  version ?

let us know

best regards

Hello @feal unfortunately the IBM DB2 connector has been removed from the ODBC connector package and will not return in the next release.

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/connectors/Subsystems/ODBC_connector_help/Content/Connectors_ODBC/IBM_DB...

the way to use it would be to install a ODBC driver from a 3rd party e.g. https://www.progress.com/supported-configurations/datadirect?ds=ibm-db2&interface=odbc and then use that one to connect. Or ask the IBM support which driver they can provide for version 13.

Hello Sebastian

thank you for the answer.

I opened first link  you cited and  it's' quite strange : it does not list neither Db2 for z/os V11 (that is also  End Of Support) neither Db2 for z/os V12.

However my question is different : Qlik replicate can support Db2 for z/os V13  as source endpoint  ? If not when Qlik Replicate will support it ? My question is NOT related to odbc /jdbc drivers 

Let me know

best regards

Hello Sebastian

Hello @feal ,

Yes it's correct. Replicate version 2023.5 supports DB2z 12/12.1/13.1 as source endpoint. 

Let me know if you need any additional information.

Regards,

John.
