To natively integrate with an IBM Db2® relational database system as part of a chain, add a step that includes an IBM Db2 connection command. To tightly and bi-directionally integrate your data stored in Db2, combine these commands with commands for other applications, including Tableau®, Power BI®, and performance management applications such as Anaplan®, IBM® Planning Analytics, Host Analytics®, and Oracle® EPM.
Connection Properties
To enable these commands, an IT admin first creates an IBM Db2 connection and configures its credentials and properties:
| Input |
Detail |
| Username |
Enter the username to authenticate with |
| Password |
Enter the password to authenticate with |
| Connection URL |
Enter the connection URL, such as jbdc:db2://host:port/database
Note: The default port for IBM Db2 is often 446, 6789, or 50000. If the database server uses the default port, you can omit the port value.
|
Note: All sensitive credentials are automatically encrypted and stored at 2,048-bit encryption.
