Installing client software

Bravura Security Fabric communicates with the DB2 server via APIs provided by the DB2 Connect client. Before you can target DB2, you must install and configure the DB2 Connect client on the Bravura Security Fabric server.

Consult the documentation included with your DB2 client software for more information.

After you have configured the DB2 client, ensure that an ODBC system data source exists for each DB2 database that Bravura Security Fabric will target. To do this:

  1. Open Control Panel and select Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC).

  2. Select the System DSN tab.

    The ODBC Data Source Administrator displays a list of data sources. DB2 data sources are indicated by the driver "IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER".

    If a data source does not exist for the DB2 database that you want Bravura Security Fabric to target, click Add and create a new data source. See your Windows or DB2 help for more information.

  3. Note the system Data Source Name (DSN). You will need this name when adding the target to Bravura Security Fabric . This is usually the same as the DB2 database name.
