About Cloudscape v10.1.x

WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.x requires Cloudscape to run at a minimal version of v10.1x, which differs radically from previous releases of the database.

Supported configurations Supported configurations: WebSphere Application Server supports direct customer use of the Cloudscape database in test environments only. The product does not support direct customer use of Cloudscape database in production environments.sptcfg

The new code base

Unlike versions 5.1.60x and earlier, the new Cloudscape is a pure Java database server. The Cloudscape v10.1.x code base, which the open source community calls Derby, is a product of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) open source relational database project. The new Cloudscape includes Derby without any modification to the underlying source code. Learn more about Derby code at the Apache Derby website: http://db.apache.org/derby/.

Support for two phase-commit transactions over the Network Server framework

Only the Network Server framework provides support for multiple Java virtual machines (JVMs), such as application servers, to access Cloudscape. Earlier versions of Cloudscape cannot conduct two phase-commit transactions over the Network Server framework. However, the new Cloudscape can conduct XA transactions over Network Server; the new Derby Client JDBC driver gives Cloudscape v10.1.x that capability.

New Tools

Cloudscape v10.1.x is equipped with the following .bat/sh tools:

Note: When you run ij, surround the dbname by double quotation marks (" ") if it includes the full path name; for example: ij> connect '"c:\temp;create=true"'

This is ' " " ' without spaces.

Continued support

The new Cloudscape package that is bundled with WebSphere Application Server shares this important feature with earlier packages: It is backed by full IBM Quality Assurance (QA).
