Setting up Db2 as the build metadata database

The DBB metadata store APIs can create and store build metadata on the z/OS® UNIX file system without needing any customization for prototyping or POC projects when testing with DBB. However, to run in production, it is recommended that you configure an IBM Db2® database to store build metadata.

DBB supports both Db2 for Linux®, UNIX, and Windows, as well as Db2 for z/OS.

To know how to configure Db2 as the metadata store on these environments, refer to the following information:

• Configuring Db2 LUW as the metadata database
• Configuring Db2 for z/OS as the metadata database
