An Issue in SPSS Modeler Database Functions and IIAS


Incompatibility between using Netezza and Db2 products. 
Both UDFs (User Defined Function) and built-in functions are available in the case of Netezza, but in the case of IIAS (IBM Integrated Analytics System) / Db2 only UDF is available in CLEM. (See slide (2)Where to find functions)
This doesn't mean that  SPSS Modeler is always unable to translate its data processing to built-in functions, as SQL pushback can translate data processing implicitly. Built-in functions are unavailable in only CLEM.


I would like to make SPSS Modeler to be able to use both of UDFs and built-in functions of IIAS in CLEM.
