Database Reader runtime considerations

Do not perform a REPLACE or ALTER ... RECOMPILE on an application or flow containing a Database Reader when recovery is enabled. If it is necessary to modify the application, export the application (see Apps page), drop it, update the exported TQL with the new values, and import it (see Apps page).

Runtime considerations when using Database Reader with Db2 sources

Database Reader supports the following sources:

  • Db2 for iSeries (AS/400) V7R4M0

  • Db2 for LUW 11.5.9

  • Db2 for z/OS versions 12 and 13.

Before Striim can read from those sources, you must install the appropriate JDBC driver for your DB2 environment

Limitations for Db2 for iSeries and LUW

The following limitations do not apply to Db2 for z/OS.

  • Create Schema is not supported.

  • The schema conversion utility is not supported.

  • Incremental Batch Reader does not support reading from DB2 for iSeries or LUW and there is no CDC reader for DB2 for for iSeries or LUW. In other words, only "lift and shift" use cases are supported.
