IBM Licensed Programs: Database Products
• Allow the connection of cubes and stars with varying dimensionality
• Allow partition replication between centralized and distributed cubes and stars
DB2 OLAP Server for AS/400 for AS/400 Builder Version 1.1 assists in moving enterprise
data to the AS/400 system by transforming and simplifying online transaction data into
meaningful information. Features include:
• Easily builds a data warehouse or data marts using full SQL support. Selects specific
data from one or more tables in your OLTP database and moves them to existing
tables or new tables created "on-the-fly" by Warehouse Builder.
• Cleanses data by calling user programs or by entering any SQL statement before or
after the distribution.
• Implements business rules, such as profit margin formulas or inventory reorder
thresholds, using Warehouse Builder's ability to create result columns and assign
them meaningful names and descriptions.
• Manages metadata by pre-joining multiple tables, renaming files and fields when
transforming the data, and maintaining a metadata repository for information about
how the warehouse was created.
• Presets the timing of data transformations, or can be called from applications, which
may determine the data transformation schedules.
• Distributes data from DB2 Distributed Relational Database Access (DRDA) data
sources other than the AS/400 system, including DB2 Universal Database running on
OS/390, AIX, and Windows NT.

DB2 Spatial Extender Version 2.1.1, 5801-AAR Feature 2716
DB2 DataJoiner Version 2.1.1 allows access to and the joining of data from different data
sources with a single Structured Query Language (SQL) statement and a single interface.
That single interface hides all the differences that cause problems when accessing
information from different vendor databases on different vendor platforms. With DataJoiner,
there is one interface to one database image. It's like having one big database.
DB2 DataJoiner Version 2.1.1 is available on two platforms: AIX and Windows NT.
With DB2 DataJoiner Version 2.1.1, you only need to send one query to get the answer from
different data sources. These sources include DB2, IMS, VSAM, Oracle, Oracle Rdb, Sybase,
Sybase SQL Anywhere, Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, and others. Global schema allows
the creation of joins or views across all of these data sources, easily and transparently. There
is only one SQL interface to deal with.
