CHAPTER 14 INTEGRATING DOMINO FOR SYSTEM I WITH OTHER DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
About authority when Domino applications access DB2 UDB for iSeries
An important feature of Domino for System i is the integration between Domino and DB2 UDB for iSeries databases. Several methods are available for Domino applications to access (and potentially update) DB2 UDB for iSeries databases:
LotusScript applications use LS:DO (LotusScript Data Object) as an interface to DB2 UDB for iSeries data.
Agents written using the Domino formula language can use @Db instructions to interact with a relational database, including DB2 UDB for iSeries.
Domino Enterprise Connection Services (DECS) provides real-time access to DB2 UDB for iSeries data through a Domino application.
All of these methods for accessing DB2 UDB for iSeries from Domino establish a connection from Domino to i5/OS. The connection specifies both the user profile whose authority the system uses to access DB2 UDB for iSeries database files and a password for that user profile.
