DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Automatic client reroute roadmap

Automatic client reroute is an IBM® DB2® server feature that redirects client applications from a failed server to an alternate server so the applications can continue their work with minimal interruption. Automatic client reroute can be accomplished only if an alternate server has been specified prior to the failure.

Table 1 lists the relevant topics in each category.

Note: Automatic client reroute for DB2 for z/OS® Sysplex is also available in IBM data server clients and non-Java IBM data server drivers. With this support, applications that access a DB2 for z/OS Sysplex can use automatic client reroute capabilities provided by the client, and are not required to go through a DB2 Connect server. For more information about this feature, see the topic about automatic client reroute (client-side) in the DB2 Information Center.
