Enhancement Request: Provide Db2 Analytics Accelerator Admin Services as SMP/E deliverables rather than through Fix Central PAX downloads

Hi,

At Rabobank, we aim to minimize manual processing and simplify the installation process wherever possible.

Due to increasingly restrictive security policies, downloading PAX files from IBM Fix Central has become more difficult. As an example, in the near future our workstations will be no longer allowed to download files directly from external sources.

The request is to offer these Db2 Analytics Accelerator Admin Services through a standard SMP/E package instead of via a PAX file, so that the need for local downloading and UNPAX processing on z/OS systems is removed

 

Kind regards,

Karin de Bruijn
