Users of the Solaris Operating Environment have a new way to communicate with DB2 databases on the Solaris Operating Environment, or on host and AS/400 servers. With Version 7, DB2 Connect now supports DCL SNAP-IX V6.1.0 for SPARC Solaris. Previously, DB2 Connect only supported the SUNLINK SNA product. This new DCL SNA product is very similar to CS/AIX V5 in its implementation.
For SUNLINK, outbound connections using CPIC APIs and inbound connections using APPC APIs are now supported. For DCL, in addition to the above, SPM high level description is also supported. See the DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition for UNIX Quick Beginnings for more information.
