Eclipse and JDK versions |
This version of the product was developed for use with Eclipse
3.4.2, using the IBM® JDK 1.6
SR 7. You must have
a compatible JVM on your computer to run the Data Studio product.
|
Data Studio has
the following software requirements on the client platform:
- To run SQL statements, you must have access to the IBM Java™ Database
Connectivity (JDBC) Type 4 driver. This JDBC Type 4 driver is included
with Data Studio.
You can select a different JDBC driver if necessary.
On Linux® systems, if the class location
of your JDBC driver (db2jcc.jar and license) is not automatically
populated, check the DB2INSTANCE environment variable. This variable
should be set to the local DB2® instance
name, for example, export DB2INSTANCE=db2inst1. The value of the variable
is case sensitive. Otherwise, you can specify the location manually.
- To run commands and utilities that cannot be run through the JDBC
driver, you must use one of the following alternative protocols that
the workbench supports:
- The DB2 Administration Server
(DAS) protocol, which is supplied by DB2 for Linux, UNIX®, and Windows®
- The Secure Shell (SSH) protocol
- The Microsoft Windows Server Message Broker
(SMB) protocol
- To browse and access the file system on a remote server, the Secure
File Transfer (SFTP) protocol is used.
For information about the configuration and set up that
is required for using DAS, SSH, or SMB, and SFTP, see Configuration for remote operations.
