Found the answer to my question in an article from IT Jungle, August 29, 2005. It tells me what I feared, DB2/400 does not have DB2 Cube Views as do the other DB2s. Oh, well... "DB2 Cube Views does not today run on iSeries, and that is one area that IBM is considering bringing new software to OS/400 in the wake of DB2 OLAP Server for iSeries, Wozniak says. "I think we're certainly interested in looking at a comprehensive warehousing solution on iSeries that looks a lot like the ones we have on pSeries and Linux," he says. "That probably implies something very similar to CubeViews, or some analog to it if not the actual product." However don't take DB2 Cube Views running natively on OS/400 as gospel yet, since IBM hasn't formally announced any plans to do this; but, that said, now is the time to let IBM know you want native support if you do, so it can get to work on it now rather than later. Keep in mind, too, that IBM's future data warehousing offerings for the iSeries may not be entirely OS/400-based, since the iSeries is no longer itself solely OS/400-based. IBM can run AIX and Linux programs natively now. So Big Blue is looking at whether it can run certain components of the solution, such as DB2 Cube Views Advisor component, which specifies how views of queries should be laid out within the OLAP tool, in a Linux partition." Thanks to anyone that contributed. Dave
