for IBM DB2 Client Driver Installation

To perform an Audit on an IBM DB2 server, you must install the DB2 administrative client. If you do not have these drivers and privileges, AppDetectivePro cannot access tables that are critical for information gathering.

If you are already an IBM DB2 user, and you have the administrative client installed, you do not need to reinstall the client drivers. You only need to have your login name and password.

Supported and Non-Supported Client Configurations
DB2 version 7 client local connections to a DB2 version 8 server are not supported. For example, you cannot use a DB2 version 7 client to catalog a DB2 version 8 instance on the same machine as a local node.

A detailed matrix on the IBM DB2 website describes the standard and gateway configuration support for DB2 clients. For more information, see the following:
