    Hi All,

    We would like to announce our first alpha release of EF 6.4 support multi-targeting .NET FW 4.6.1 and .NET Standard 2.1 (on Windows ONLY). The same could be installed via Nuget repository: EntityFramework.IBM.DB2 6.4.0-alpha

    MS recommended links and approaches in the regard of writing EF 6.4 applications could be found here:

    Steps to perform while using it with .NET Standard 2.1:

    Entity Framework 6.4.0 apps targeting .NET Standard 2.1 would require Code based configuration of our EF6 Provider e.g.DB2 Core Provider Code Based Registration

    The following blog details about EF6 code based configuration:
    Code-Based Configuration of EF6 Provider for IBM Data Servers

    Changing Provider attribute in EDMX file:

    Provider Change to IBM.Data.DB2.Core in EDMX File

    In App/Web.config we need to update "provider" keyword to "IBM.Data.DB2.Core" from "IBM.Data. DB2" in the corresponding connection String:
    *.config change provider to IBM.Data.DB2.Core
    ​We would keep this discussion going with our enhanced support (future releases) and feedback!

    We are facing code and markup languages formatting issues and have used images instead to have better readability.

    Hi All,

    We would like to announce our release candidate of EF 6.4 supporting multi-targeting .NET FW 4.6.1 and .NET Standard 2.1 on Windows, Linux and OS X. The same could be installed via Nuget repository: EntityFramework.IBM.DB2(6.4.0-rc)

    Instead of creating 3 Nuget packages for different Operating Systems, we didn't bind this package to any particular platform. As we observe our native dependencies on .NET Core runtime, we need to select one of IBM.Data.DB2.Core (3.1.0.400-alpha)/IBM.Data.DB2.Core-lnx (3.1.0.400-alpha)/IBM.Data.DB2.Core-osx (3.1.0.400-alpha) Nuget package based upon
    underlying Operating System.

    This release adds toleration support for Entity Framework 6.4.0 multi-targeting i.e. .NET Framework 4.6.1 and .NET Standard 2.1 on Windows Linux and OS X.
