Hi,

We bought a license for IBM DB2 Web Query including a 3-year SWMA this year. 
Does anyone know what happens now?

I guess we can continue using the product until end of SWMA, but without any form of support of course?
Is there any "money back" from IBM?

Also, I had a look at IBM Cognos Analytics and at a first glance it looks very similar to DB2 Web Query. Could Cognos be the replacement product for DB2 Web Query?


Thanks,

Göran Nilsson

Hi Göran,

The support situation will soon be clarified. If you are a business partner there are some documents around the withdrawal of Webquery on the IBM Siesmic website. 

I will spread any news in my daily newsletter about IBM i for sure as well on the Built on Power Linkedin page. 

Also, if you want to discuss in Swedish, please email me torbjorn@builtonpower.com

It gets harder by the day to support IBM. I have just spent the past 18 months converting my reports over to DB2 Web Query from Cognos. Just like that all of that time and effort is wasted due to IBM's incompetency.

Jeremy, Sorry to hear this.  At Fortra, we do have the IBM based BI tool called SEQUEL.  It has been helping customers for years.  We are also big supporters of IBM i.  https://www.fortra.com/products/enterprise-data-access-software-ibm-i

Tom,

I have some Fortra products for the IBM i. There hasn't been a meaningful update to them in years. The Windows version of the same product (for example, WebDocs) gets updates all the time. I have brought this up to Fortra many times and it falls on deaf ears. Their solution for me is to buy a Windows Server and abandon the IBM i for WebDocs. So I am not sure how big of an IBM i supporter Fortra is really. I would love to take a look at the BI product and I actually used it at another job years ago, but based on my previous experience I am avoiding Fortra products for the IBM i.

Jeremy,

I've heard some people mention Cognos as a replacement for DB2 Web Query. If you were moving from Cognos to WQ, you must not have thought it was a viable solution. Can you tell me why you felt like Cognos didn't meet your needs?

Hi,

I attended the webinar "IBM Cognos Analytics and IBM i" yesterday and there were some questions regarding DB2 Web Query.
Unfortunately their message was that there isn't any trade-in or transfer offer for DB2 Web Query.

They shared a link to a Q&A that is updated on a regular basis:
IBM.Db2.Web.Query.for.i.FAQ.pdf

So after some quick evaluations I will be proceeding with Crystal Reports. I am accessing the IBM i using ODBC and I am creating reports on the fly and distributing them using a C# program that I will convert into a service when I am finished. 

CR allows me to store the SQL query with the report template, so I have full control over the data. I can export to PDF, Excel and other formats which is primarily what I need. I can pass parameters from my C# program to the reports so that I can narrow down the data retrieved on the fly. It has all of the subtotal, grouping and field calculations that I need. In a future version of my C# program I will probably store a copy of the report in each user's home folder on the IFS as a type of archive. 

Best part is the program is $495.

Hello, Recently talking with some friends from IBM and according to the QA document, the product will continue working since the license is perpetual. The support topic will be given for customers who have an active SWMA. Although we will not have new releases or new patches for the product.

You can find in this link some alternatives to make a migration plan to another tool.

Torbjörn - thank you for your posts.  My client's software maintenance expired on Dec 31st, 2023.  Renewal not possible with IBM.  Today they have an issue and need support for Web Query.  What are our options?   I have not seen any information regarding "new support strategy" for these clients.   Just "stay tuned" messaging for the last 2+ months.   Hoping you can share some ideas.  Thank you, Tracey
