IBM Data Server Runtime Client - DB2COPY1 - DB2COPY1

IBM Data Server Runtime Client (DB2COPY1) by IBM

The IBM Data Server Runtime Client is a lightweight client package that provides the runtime libraries and drivers needed for applications to connect to IBM Db2 databases. It supports common data access interfaces such as ODBC/CLI, OLE DB, and ADO.NET, includes basic connectivity and cataloging tools, and is suitable for deployment on end-user machines and application servers. It does not include database server components or full administration GUIs.

On Windows, “DB2COPY1” is the installation’s copy name. It is the default identifier for the first Db2 client installed on a system and enables side-by-side installations, allowing applications to target a specific client copy.

Typical uses:

• Running Db2-enabled applications without installing a full client or server
• Providing standardized drivers for enterprise connectivity to Db2 on Linux, UNIX, Windows, and, when appropriately licensed, Db2 for z/OS and IBM i
• Supporting secure, encrypted connections (SSL/TLS) and centralized configuration of remote database catalogs

Note: Uninstalling or modifying this client may affect applications that depend on its drivers and configuration.
