Tutorial: Accessing DB2 on an IBM Power System
You must first download the driver. As of this writing, IBM offers the driver free as part of a product called JTOpen To
download the driver, go to
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jt400/
(see Figure
10-1
) and click the link for downloading
the latest version of JTOpen as a single zip file. (Be aware that the Web is constantly changing and you may have to
search for JTOpen.) For this tutorial, we assume that the file was downloaded to the F: drive and named jtopen_7_3.zip.
Figure 10-1.
1.
Create a folder on the F: drive called jtopen
2.
Unzip jtopen_7_3.zip into F:\jtopen.
This assumes you have an unzip program already installed. If not, you will have to download one. A very popular
version is WinZip. To unzip, simply double-click the zip file icon, follow the prompts, and at the “unzip to folder”
window specify F:\jtopen.
3.
In RAD, right-click on the Tutorials project and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
4.
In the left pane of the “Properties for Tutorials” window, click on Java Build Path then click
the Libraries tag (see Figure
10-2
).
