Software Requirements for IBM i

Software Requirements for IBM i

PowerExchange supports the following 64-bit versions of the IBM i (i5/OS) operating system for bulk data movement and CDC:
  • 7.4
  • 7.3
  • 7.2
The following table lists the data source or target versions that PowerExchange supports on IBM i for bulk data movement and CDC:

Not supported
The following restrictions apply to DB2 for IBM i version 7.2 only:
  • If you use the DB2400C access method for a DB2 for IBM i 7.2 source and specify SECURITY=(2,
    x
    ) in the DBMOVER file, bulk data movement operations that use ODBC and database row tests fail with an SQL error similar to the following one: 
    PWX-02302 CLI SQLState=42977. Native=-7022. User USER1 not the same as current user USER2.
    This restriction is related to an IBM change to the DB2 interface that the DB2400C access method uses in IBM i 7.2.
  • PowerExchange CDC does not honor Row and Column Access Control (RCAC) rules because of a DB2 limitation. When PowerExchange tries to process journal entries for tables that have RCAC rules applied, the columns or rows are not masked or filtered based on the rules. RCAC rules were introduced in DB2 for IBM i 7.2.
