Db2 Connect is out there for many years and is still used as a synonym for any client connectivity to Db2 z/OS. However, IBM nowadays offers several different options for client connectivity. This presentation gives an overview what kind of Db2 Client and Data Server Driver is useful for and which effort it means in terms of installation and administration. It also shows in which situations a Db2 Connect Gateway still makes sense.
Christoph Theisen is working as Senior Solutions Advisor for Rocket Software Inc. and located in Germany. Before joining Rocket in April 2021, Christoph worked for three decades for IBM. Starting in IBM’s Global Services unit in 1991 Christoph worked in several client engagements - the majority related to Db2 on the Mainframe - as application developer, database administrator, architect and consultant. In the last couple of years Christoph's role in IBM shifted to a Client Technical Specialist. This means that the primary focus was on making Db2 z/OS users more familiar with new features and functions but also with new analytics capabilities of Db2 for z/OS and related products. In Rocket Software, Christoph supports Db2 for z/OS Tools customers, especially users of IBM OMEGAMON for Db2 for z/OS and Db2 Query Monitor for z/OS, and helps them to get the most from their Db2 for z/OS Tools. Additional areas of Christoph's special interest are logical and physical database design, Db2 application programming and modernization as well as Db2 connectivity, SQL programming and tuning. Christoph has presented several times on IDUG conferences and local user groups about client modernization and Db2 connectivity.
