IBM DB2 Source Databases

IBM DB2 Source Databases

IBM DB2 databases store character data as binary data. If you want to retire data on an IBM DB2 source database, you must specify a code page in the source connection parameters and create mappings for certain data types.
When you create the IBM DB2 source connection, specify the code page CharsetFor65535=CP950 in the connection parameters. Then create mappings for the VARCHAR() for bit data and LONG VARCHAR for bit data types. If you do not specify the code page in the parameters and create mappings, the file archive loader job retrieves the binary source data as hexadecimal data and the job fails to load data.
You do not need to create a mapping for the CHAR() for bit data type.
