Support ARM64 Linux

We frequently use ARM64 Linux Docker Containers when we develop python applications on MacOS. The fact that the db2 drivers and subsequently the python packages do not support this makes our development workflow much harder.

As cloud developer, I need small, easy to install IBM DB drivers for Node.js, Python, Go and more

When developing or working with containerized apps or even serverless technologies like FaaS (Function-as-a-Service), compact container sizes and quick and easy installation of all required components is essential. Contrast that with the big roadb...

DB2SimpleDataSource and DB2XADataSource cannot be instantiated in modules with add-modules=java.sql only (without jdk.net.ExtendedSocketOptions 11.x => 12.x).

For security and reliability reason our infrastructure partner (MuleSoft) is adding as less java modules to the runtime as possible. While in java-module-context only those modules are accessible which are in the module-info.java of the module. In...

Security fixes to be delivered separately from fix packs and easier to install (e.g., just a zap) for db2 connect. Large installation base require complex scheduling to get security patches updated. Security patching is critical due to regulatory ...

We are developing Linux Application in C++ to connect to DB2 (z/OS and LUW) and using the CLI Driver. We have x86_64 & s390x binaries(.so) files available and those work great in production. We however have a containerized Dev environment and most developers are running MACs and having a hard time in the development workflow(specifically debugging since AMD64 containers on MAC with emulator have issues in debugging due to internal security restrictions). ARM64/Linux Binaries(.so) is what we would need preferably built on RHEL9.

For Development workflow - it will be hugely beneficial to bring down dev and debug timeframe. ARM64/Linux Binaries(.so) is what we would need preferably built on RHEL9.

We have lots and lots on JDBC connections to our Db2 z/OS servers. We also have a very large number of Db2 z/OS subsystems. About 98 % of those are Data Sharing. We are seeing large concentration of connections on only one particular member of the...
