Product Documentation


Abstract

This document provides information about prerequisites for the IBM® InfoSphere® Optim™ solutions and their features. Requirements for using Hive as a data source DBMS are provided as well.

IBM InfoSphere Optim Solutions Supported Data Sources

Click on the DBMS name in the tabs below for the detailed system requirements page for it.

The Optim solutions support data sources heterogeneously. That is, a solution can generally process a business object that consists of data from one or more data sources or extract data from one data source or DBMS and insert it in another.

To prevent inadvertent deletion or alteration of data from system tables for your relational database management system, your Optim solution cannot be used in INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE processing against these tables.
Note that Optim does not currently support Temporal Tables in any data source.

Optim Directory Support

For Optim 11.3 solutions that use Optim Designer and Optim Manager, the Optim directory and the IBM InfoSphere Optim Connection Manager database must be Unicode and are supported on the following database management systems only.

In DB2, certain directory tables require an 8K tablespace. The default size for DB2 is 4K. Ensure that the directory owner has authorization to an 8K tablespace or that a specific 8K tablespace is specified when installing or upgrading.

Hive as a Data Source Requirements

Version Support Level Comments
2.0, 2.1 Support

Minimum version of Optim required is 11.3.0.7

Apache Hadoop Hive 2.0 and 2.1 have been verified against the following distributions:
 

  • Cloudera (CDH) 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 5.11, 5.12
  • Hortonworks (HDP) 2.4, 2.5
  • IBM BigInsights 4.2, 4.3

Hive Complex Data Types are not supported

Support levels

The support level for a version of a database is toleration or supported.

If a database is provided at a toleration level, the Optim solution can connect to the data source. The Optim solution also supports data types and features supported in previous releases of the solution but does not support all features of the data source.

If a data source is supported, the Optim solution also:

  • Supports processing of the most common data types for the data source
  • Might support or exploit other new features of the data source
In addition, for relational databases, the Optim solution supports extracting object definitions for the database as well as preserving and using (with the Optim create utility) extracted objects.

Set up considerations

The following considerations apply when using an Optim server to access Hive:

  • The appropriate ODBC driver must be installed on both workstation and server.
  • You must use the Progress DataDirect ODBC driver manager distributed with your Optim solution. For information needed to install and configure the DataDirect ODBC driver manager, see the Progress DataDirect "DataDirect Connect® Series for ODBC Users Guide".
  • Optim uses the Progress DataDirect ODBC and JDBC drivers for Hive. These are installed as part of the Optim installation. If you desire to use a different driver, you will have to install and configure it.
