Connection to PDO DB2
At Scriptcase, we have the following drivers available for connection to DB2: DB2 and DB2 Native ODBC. If you are using your own, pre-configured environment , DB2 extensions must be enabled manually in PHP.
Automatic Installation
If you installed the tool through the automatic installer, and did not install the driver at the time of installation. You must download the DB2 driver installer and install it. The installation will install the client and enable the necessary extensions.
- scriptcase_database_drivers_linux_amd64_v9.9.run : Download
Running the installer
Enter the folder where the installer is located and grant the installer permission
sudo chmod +x scriptcase_database_drivers_linux_amd64_v9.9.run
Run the installer
./scriptcase_database_drivers_linux_amd64_v9.9.run
After installing the drivers, go to how to configure the db2dsdriver.cfg clicking here
Manual Installation
Prequisites
Before proceeding with this documentation, check your PHP architecture. In order for the drivers to be enabled correctly, files must be downloaded according to the architecture used .
- In your Scriptcase, there is the file info.php, access it by the URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8092/scriptcase/info.php
, where you will find the information regarding the architecture in phpinfo().
CAUTION: Download the dsdriver according to your PHP architecture.
- Architecture i386/i686 = 32 bits
- Architecture x86_64 = 64 bits
Required files:
x64
- IBM DsDriver Linux(x64): click here
x86
- IBM DsDriver Linux(x86): click here
Follow them steps below to correctly enable all drivers in Scriptcase.

3 - Restart the Apache service:
UBUNTU\DEBIAN | CENTOS\RHEL |
---|---|
sudo service apache2 restart |
sudo systemctl restart httpd |
Configuring the db2dsdriver.cfg file
Before creating the connection in the Scriptcase interface, you need to configure the db2dsdriver.cfg file
1 : Give recursive permission on the file directory if you do not have permission to manipulate the file.
Automatic Installation | Manual Installation |
---|---|
- sudo chmod -R 755 /opt/Scriptcase/v9-php81/components/drivers/IBM/Db2/dsdriver/cfg/ |
- sudo chmod -R 755 /opt/IBM/Db2/dsdriver/cfg/ |
2 : Open the db2dsdriver.cfg file and configure the file as in the structure below
<configuration>
<dsncollection>
<dsn alias="db2" name="db2" host="hotel53.torolab.ibm.com" port="5000" ldap=1/>
</dsncollection>
<databases>
<database name="SAMPLE" host="hotel53.torolab.ibm.com" port="5000">
</database>
</databases>
</configuration>
In automatic installation, you must first rename the db2dsdriver.cfg.sample file to db2dsdriver.cfg
In manual installation, if you don’t find the file, you can create it
After configuring the file, restart Apache and create the connection.
Automatic Installation | Manual Installation |
---|---|
UBUNTU: sudo service apachesc9php81 restart |
sudo service apache2 restart |
CENTOS/RHEL: sudo service apachesc9php81 restart |
sudo systemctl restart httpd |
Creating a Connection in Scriptcase
See below how to create a connection in your Scriptcase project, using the enabled Driver and the DB2 database.
1 - Access a project from your Scriptcase.
2 - Click the New Connection icon to create a connection
or access the Database > New connection menu.
After that, a screen will appear with all database connections.
3 - Select the DB2 connection.
Connection
Enter the parameters for connecting to your database as follows:
-
Connection name: Define the name of your new connection. By default, Scriptcase adds the prefix conn along with the database name.
-
DBMS Driver: Select the Driver for connection. In this example, we use the DB2 ODBC Genérico driver.
