Developing database applications in Data Virtualization

You can develop applications that access and use the data in your Data Virtualization service on Cloud Pak for Data.

A user with Admin privileges can set up your Data Virtualization service so that application programmers can create Representational State Transfer (REST) endpoints that can be used to interact with Data Virtualization.

For more information, see Db2 REST service.

Before you begin

  1. Contact your Admin to enable the Db2 REST interface for a Data Virtualization deployment on Cloud Pak for Data. You need the REST pod name, which is used to run documented REST commands.

    For more information, see Enabling the Db2 REST interface in Data Virtualization.

  2. Contact your Admin to create a route for the REST service.

    For more information, see Creating the route for the Db2 REST service.

  3. Request specific privileges that you need.

    For more information, see Required privileges for working with REST endpoints in Db2 in the Db2 documentation..
