What Versions of DB2 can CloverETL connect to?

CloverDX Platform
1

Hi,

Can CloverETL connect to older versions of DB2? Such as 5 or earlier? I know many tools only support 8.1.5 and up.

The reason I ask is I may be getting a project to convert some data that is in a DB2 database on an AS400 and I want to move it to Oracle for conversion work. Then back into a newer version of DB2 on AS400 (probably 10.1).

Thanks,
Scott

Hi, Scott,

You need a JDBC driver for connection to a database. There are JDBC drivers for versions 8.1 and up on the official pages of IBM. Maybe this is the reason why the other applications do not support older versions. I do not know how much backward compatible is JDBC for version 8.1 and whether it is able to work with e.g. version 5. There is a chance for at least a basic functionality but you have to try it on your own. Or you can try to find some unofficial driver for version 5 but in this case, like in the previous case, there is no guarantee from our side that this solution will work.

Best regards,
