IBM Information Integration Infrastructure  II Infrastructure enables integration of diverse, distributed and real time data as if it were a single source, no matter where it all resides. Key features of the infrastructure include ability to;  Federate,  Search,  Cache,  Transform,  And replicate desperate data

DB2 Family MVSAIX VMOS2 VSEHP-UX OS/400SUN SINIXNT SCOOthers Non-Relational IMS VSAM Other Servers InformixOracleSybaseMicrosoftTeradata External Files Cross Access EDA/SQL Supported Data Sources DB2 WEB Data Sources OLE/OLE DB data sources Lotus Notes MS Exchange MS Excel MS Access,... DB2 Client DB2 Connect Native Interface Data Links Third-party Gateway TABLE UDFs Personal Edition to Universal Data AST cache of external data (reliability/perf) DB2 Federation Extenders

Federation  Single image of disparate data  For Federated Queries between DB2 and Informix;  Only DB2 UDB ( includes Relational Connect) with wrappers  For Federated Queries between DB2 and non IBM databases and access to non-relational sources (XML) and unstructured data;  DB2 UDB (includes Relational Connect)  DB2 UDB Information Integrator  DB2 UDB Integrator for Content

From A to B db2 =>IDS, IIF, XPSRelational Connect* db2 =>Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server (more to come) Information Integrator* db2 =>zSeries DB2DB2 Connect db2 =>somewhere elseInformation Integrator for Content * Was D.J., now Info Integrator

How does “Federation” Work? You are here … Target 1 Target N Federated server Client SW for targets 1…N Don’t move data, “play it as it lays” Network client configured and operational Authentication

From db2 => to Informix with DB2 Relational Connect You are here … XPS IDS DB2 v8.1( includes Relational Connect) DB2 Informix Client SDK TCP Network listener configured and operational Authentication

DB2 V8 Relational Connect Configuration GUI

Relational Connect – hints and tips Run install: The order has to be V8.1, Relational Connect, then latest fixpack IFMX client software Add Federated Data Sources 1.Set the environment variables and update the profile registry. 2.Link DB2 to the Informix client software – djxlinkInformix (pre 8.1) 3.Recycle the DB2 instance. 4.Create the Informix sqlhosts file. 5.Set up db2dj.ini 6.Create the wrapper. 7.Optional: Set the DB2_DJ_COMM environment variable (double check) 8.Create a server. 9.Create a user mapping. 10.Create nicknames for tables, views and Informix synonyms

Relational Connect Syntax connect to sample; create wrapper informix; create server rcxps type informix version 8 wrapper informix options ( node 'mkxps', dbname 'stores_demo', cpu_ratio '.1' io_ratio '.1' ); create user mapping for db2inst1 server rcxps options ( remote_authid 'informix', remote_password ‘techconf' ); create nickname rcx_customer for rcxps."informix"."customer"; select * from rcx_customer;
