Currently the InfoSphere Information Server 11.5 Datastage DB2 Connector doesn't support a supported version of DB2 for i.
Also include support for Surrogate Key Generator Stage for DB2 supports DB2 for i v7.3+
Business Impact for IBM: If DB2 for i v7.3 connectivity is forced to use ODBC connector (vs DB2 connector), that opens a easier migration path to other DBMS'. If we are able to use the DB2 connector for DB2 for i, we wouldn't have to change datastage jobs if we wanted to switch to the Db2 LUW common SQL engine.
The Surrogate key stage depends on Connecting with DB2 connect to DB2 for i if database sequence types are used.
