Connection Pooling for DataStage

We wish us that DataStage has the possibility to use a connection pool.

We have thousands of connects and disconnects in Db2 that stresses out LDAP and use a lot of resources in Db2. It also costs a lot of unnecessary time.

    Hello,

    the problem is, that DataStage uses a Db2 client.

    For each communication with Db2 we have a connect and a disconnect.

    best regards

    Marcel Scheibe

    Without further details, we cannot consider this enhancement, unfortunately. Closing it. Feel free to comment and provide additional details, and we might reconsider this position in the future.

    Thanks for submitting this idea.

    We would need more details on the connector you're expected to be enhanced?

    Is it DB2 native Connector or ODBC / JDBC Generic Connectors connecting to DB2 using the drivers

    Thanks
