InfoSphere Federation Server Relational Wrappers set up

A federated database system enables users and applications to refer to multiple database management systems or databases within a single SQL statement. You can, for example, perform a UNION between a DB2® table and an Oracle view. A federated system includes a DB2 instance and database, and one or more data sources. Each data source consists of a non-DB2 DBMS and data.

In InfoSphere™ Federation Server Relational Wrappers, different wrappers are provided to allow your DB2 server to access different data sources. Wrappers are available for Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft® SQL Server, and Teradata. Wrappers for Informix® data sources and DB2 data sources are available as part of DB2 server products.

You must set up the instance to use InfoSphere Federation Server Relational Wrappers before setting up InfoSphere Federation Server Relational Wrappers for the data sources you want to use.

Select Set up the instance to use the relational wrapper components to set up the instance to use InfoSphere Federation Server Relational Wrappers. You will then be given the option to set up InfoSphere Federation Relational Wrappers for the wrappers you have installed.

Select Do not set up the instance to use the relational wrapper components to skip set up of any InfoSphere Federation Servers Relational Wrappers at this time.
