RE: JDBC Toolbox driver/Loopback RDB entry

  Joe,

thank you for useful links. It may well be that I'll have to use the DB2
universal driver, although I suspect that JDBC toolbox driver might do as
well. But I was hoping to save myself some time by posting the question.

Just in case: my environment is a single partition environment where both
DB2 and WebSphere run in the primary (the only) OS/400 partition. I do know
for a fact that the Native DB2 UDB driver for iSeries makes use of internal
protocols with data streams never exposed to the IP level. I would, however,
like to achieve exactly that exposure - in order to use IP-related system
trace facilities.

    Hi Lo,

    It appears that you will have to use the DB2 Universal JDBC Driver (
although note that the article I reference is nearly 3 years old; you
probably should verify that things haven't changed. )  See:

"Using JDBC in an iSeries Linux Partition"
http://www.mcpressonline.com/mc/PrintArticle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@.6ae8441d

and

application with Linux on iSeries and DB2 UDB for iSeries"

How can I make JDBC data source connections in my WebSphere use the

loopback

RDB entry? Ultimately, I need all intra-partition JDBC traffic to use

IP
as

the transport protocol. Any other ideas are also welcome.
