Hardware requirements

The following table shows the minimum hardware requirements that must be met to successfully install IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS.

Networking
For the data network between IBM z Systems and PureData System for Analytics N1001 (N2001, N3001), a dedicated physical network is required.

Minimum network configuration
The minimum network configuration is for test and development scenarios, but does not satisfy high availability requirements. Hence this configuration should not be used in a production environment. The minimum network configuration requires the following components:

Heads up:
For longer 10GbE SR connections with distances around 300 meters, OM3 fiber optic cables are required. Other types support only shorter distances.

(**) If you want to know why a direct network connection does not provide automatic fail-over support and hence at least one switch is needed, see:
Network Configurations for IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS

Recommended network configuration
The following components are required for a fully redundant (high availability) network between IBM z Systems and the PureData System for Analytics N1001 (N2002, N3001).

Recommended minimum level of JDBC driver
You can check the version of your JDBC driver by using the following command: java com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Jcc -version
IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Minimum Level for Type 2 Connectivity Minimum Level for Type 4 Connectivity
IBM DB2 JDBC Universal Driver (db2jcc.jar) 3.63.141

PM65003 for DB2 10 for z/OS
IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ V10.1 Fix Pack 2 IP23387-IP23396
Depending on the platform. This is sometimes required if you need to specify Db2 for z/OS special registers as part of the connection URL.		  

Required ODBC driver level
Depending on your Linux, UNIX, or Windows operating system,the minimum level for DB2 Connect Version 10.5 is fix pack 4 and the minimum level for DB2 Connect Version 10.1 is fix pack 4. To enable the special registers for query acceleration,see Enabling query acceleration with IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator for ODBC and JDBC applications without modifying the applications. Older versions of the driver might allow connections to Db2 for z/OS, but might fail to return results if timestamp columns are defined in a certain way.


Mandatory DB2-PTFs


Recommended DB2-PTFs

We recommend to have PUT-level 1609 installed for your Db2 environment. To determine all (DB2-)PTFs recommended for use with IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS V5.1.0, use the SMP/E REPORT MISSINGFIX command in conjunction with FIXCAT HOLDDATA as follows:

 

  1. Acquire and RECEIVE the latest HOLDDATA file onto your z/OS system. Use your normal service acquisition portal or download
    the two (2) year HOLDDATA files here: Enhanced HOLDDATA for z/OS.
    Ensure you select 'FULL' from the Download NOW column (last 730 days) to receive the FIXCAT HOLDDATA, as the other files do not contain FIXCAT HOLDDATA.
  2. Run the SMP/E REPORT MISSINGFIX command on your z/OS systems and specify Fix Category FIXCAT (IBM.DB2.AnalyticsAccelerator.V5R1) . The report will identify missing PTFs associated with that category on that system. For more information about the SMP/E REPORT MISSINGFIX command, see here.
  3. Periodically acquire the latest HOLDDATA file and rerun the REPORT MISSINGFIX command to determine if there are new recommended (DB2-)PTFs for IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS V5.1.0

Netezza database management software

Use the following certified Netezza Platform Software (NPS) version on your PureData System for Analytics as indicated in the following table. If more than one NPS version is certified, upgrade to the highest version.

The plug-ins and fixes for IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio are available from the following download sites:

  1. Installation Manager repository for IBM Data Studio: 4.1, 4.1.0.1, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, and 4.1.3
  2. Eclipse update site for IBM Data Studio: 4.1, 4.1.0.1, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, and 4.1.3

 

The upgrade of these products is described in the IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS Version 5.1.0 Installation Guide, chapter "Installing updates -> Updating IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio".

For silent installations, see Silent installation of IBM Installation Manager, IBM Data Studio and IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio on Windows.

Running IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio on Linux

IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio uses the Eclipse SWT Browser Control for a number of software update dialogs. To run IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio on Linux, you must therefore install a compatible version of Mozilla/XulRunner.

IBM Data Studio 4.1, IBM Data Studio 4.1.0.1, and IBM Data Studio 4.1.1 support:

Mozilla 1.4 GTK2 - 1.7.x GTK2, XULRunner 1.8.x - 1.9.x and 3.6.x (but not 2.x), WebKitGTK+ 1.2.x

Read the Eclipse FAQ entry for Eclipse 4.2.2

IBM Data Studio 4.1.2 supports:

Mozilla 1.4 GTK2 - 1.7.x GTK2, XULRunner 1.8.x - 1.9.x, 3.6.x, 10.x and 24.x (but not 2.x nor other unlisted versions), WebKitGTK+ 1.2.x and newer (Note: Eclipse 4.4 and newer uses GTK 3 by default and XULRunner cannot be used in this case as it is not ported to GTK 3 yet)
