Re: Re: Re: DB2 REST Services on IBMi? -- MIDRANGE-L

The latest HTTP group that contains SQL as APIs support has been released
for i 7.3.

IWS SQL support for i 7.2 will not be available for another month or so.

I saw that a V7.3 PTF has been released, maybe its close:
SI69902 - OSP-IWS Enable SQL as APIs

https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas3SI69902 <https://
www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas3SI69902>

APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
Enable SQL as REST APIs.

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE71235 :
-----------------------------
This PTF enables SQL statements to be exposed as REST APIs.
Ensure you have the latest HTTP group PTF to ensure all the
pieces of the support is installed. More information may be
found at the IWS web site:

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1026868 <http://
www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1026868>

The site did not appear to be updated yet. Maybe too early.

I am not sure about whether IBM i has an equivalent feature as

described

in URL you specified, but in 7.4 you will be able to externalize SQL

statements as APIs using integrated web services server[1]. This

support

will also be PTF'ed back into 7.3 (and maybe 7.2) in the very near

future.

More information will be forthcoming but stay tuned for the latest

HTTP

group PTFs.

I see that DB2 now has built-in REST services.

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEPEK_11.0.0/
restserv/src/tpc/db2z_restservices.html

I know DB2 for I has HTTP services, which we can use to consume
RESTful APIs. I am asking here about the REST services in DB2-
assuming that the REST services and the HTTP APIs are different.

Does DB2 for i have the REST services? If not, are there plans to
bring the REST services to DB2 for i in the near future?
