Re: DB2 connect server

Nope.

As I understand it, the free DB2 for i drivers don't support .NET entity
framework.

You have to pay for DB2 Connect.

If I run a .NET IIS app on a windows server that is local to my network, I
wouldn't need DB2 connect right?

I can just use the DB2 entity framework driver and connect directly to the
IBM i via the DRDA ports and bypass DB2 connect altogether correct?

It's necessary for 2-tier situations. For example, if you have Node.js on
Amazon EC2 Linux and desire to connect to DB2 for i then you'd need
DB2Connect. If you run your Node.js directly on IBM i in PASE (1-tier)
then you can use the database adapter/driver IBM provides.

Does anyone know what the purpose of the DB2 Connect server is? Why
add a link (single point of failure) in the chain and an extra hop in
your database access?
