ODBC Driver information:
Shadow ODBC/JDBC Driver: Please ensure your Shadow Server ODBC/JDBC driver is at the right level of support. Rocket Software provides this information on the various levels of support of the Shadow Server ODBC/JDBC driver:
- Shadow ODBC/JCBC V7.2 driver will connect to DB2 10; however, certain metadata calls
will be incorrect and can result in failures such as SQL -206. This is resolved at
all levels of the Version 7.3 client.
- Shadow ODBC/JDBC V6.1 driver must be at a minimum build of 6.1.1510 to connect to DB2
10.1. All versions of the Shadow ODBC or JDBC 7.3 or above drivers are supported for
DB2 V10.1.
The suggested level for your ODBC/JDBC driver is Version 7.3. It is your responsibility to maintain the ODBC/JDBC driver.
If you have questions on which driver to choose, please contact the Rocket Software vendor at website rocketsoftware.com.
