Hi,

If I remember correctly WMB 7 doesn't include any license for DB2, but to be sure take contact to your IBM sales representative. They can help you with license questions.

Hi tzm1802c,

From v7 onwards you don't get DB2, as it's not a pre-req for Message Broker anymore.

But having said that, even in v6, it was meant to be used as the metadata repository of broker and not for any sort of custom audit logging....in other words, you must license it if you are using it for logging.

Call you IBM Sales rep as marko.pitkanen mentioned.

Regards.

A curious fact about DB2 connection license usage: if you include a database node in your message flow and you connect to a DB2 database and you increase the additional instances of the flow to more than one, for each additional instance, for each database access, you need a separate DB2 connection license.

This fact has influenced our design where we shy away from using DB2 connections from WMB and instead front-end the DB2 access with a Web Service which we call from WMB. The net result is a dramatic decrease in need for DB2 connection licenses.

Depending entirely on the individual license agreement in place.

Your IBM sales rep is the only one who can speak with authority on your license terms.

While your point is accurate Vitor, IBM has hard and fast rules when it comes to DB2 connections from non-breathing persons:

http://www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/dw/dm/db2/0303zikopoulos1/db2connect.pdf

Quote:
DB2 Connect component that comes with five registered user entitlements that can be used to access DB2 servers on iSeries and zSeries systems. A registered user is an actual person that is specifically identified (by name) as a licensee of the DB2 Connect component (think breathing person). In other words the five free DB2 Connect registered user licenses that come with DB2 ESE cannot be used by a batch program, a multiplexing program, WebSphere Information Integrators, or any process or product that acts on behalf of these end users.

And depending on the license agreement in force at your site the charge for the additional connections will vary between $0 and a higher number.
