I figure it may have to do with a couple of things. First, the Data Server Driver is a lighter weight client versus DB2 Connect. Second, the type 4 driver technology employed by the Data Server Driver means that there's one piece of code between the application server and DB2 for z/OS. When you're using DB2 Connect, there's the DB2 client code on the application server and the DB2 Connect server code on a gateway server. Keeping those two pieces of code in synch as you're migrating to a new release might be a complicating factor.<br /><br />RobertRoberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058625981006623480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516533711330247058.post-39708712230607704692015-12-07T02:00:29.823-08:002015-12-07T02:00:29.823-08:00Could you be more specific about this assertiion :...Could you be more specific about this assertiion : "IBM Data Server Driver Package.. enables.. easier upgrades to new releases of the DB2 client code"<br />Thanks for your useful insights.
