30 Mar 2006 Learn about the IBM® DB2® Viper product changes that are most significant to ISVs, how they may affect existing database application code and scripts, and get guidance on how to plan to update your application.
Introduction
DB2 Viper has been designed to permit ISVs to focus more on application development and less on database configuration and administration. The new and enhanced development tools will make it even easier for developers to rapidly develop and deploy database applications, and the significant new autonomic capability will permit customers to focus more on deriving business value from their database and less on database administration.
In order to integrate and take full advantage of the new DB2 Viper features and enhancements into your software solution, some modifications to existing applications, routines and scripts are required. This article describes DB2 Viper product changes that are most significant to ISVs, explains how they may affect existing database application code and scripts, and provides guidance on how to plan to update your application.
