Relational Connect set up

A DB2 federated database system enables users and applications to refer to multiple database management systems or databases within a single SQL statement. You can, for example, perform a UNION between a DB2 table and an Oracle view. A DB2 federated system includes a DB2 instance and database, and one or more data sources. Each data source consists of a non-DB2 DBMS and data.

In DB2 Relational Connect, different wrappers are provided to allow your DB2 server to access different data sources. Wrappers are available for Oracle, Sybase, and MS SQL Server.

You must set up the instance to use Relational Connect before setting up Relational Connect for the data sources you want to use.

Select Set up the instance to use Relational Connect to set up the instance to use Relational Connect. You will then be given the option to set up Relational Connect for the wrappers you have installed.

Select Do not set up the instance to use Relational Connect to not set up any Relational Connect wrappers at this time.
