Managing UDXs

You use the CLPPlus command line interface to manage user-defined extensions.

Connecting CLPPlus to a Db2® database describes how to connect CLPPlus to your Db2 instance.

Deploying a UDX on a Db2 instance
Deploying a UDX means moving its source code (and any other files it might need) to the host system, building its library (that is, the executable code that comprises it), and registering it. Only Db2 administrators are authorized to deploy UDXs. After a UDX is deployed, users can call it from within an SQL statement as they would any other SQL function.
Transferring a UDX from one Db2 instance to another
After you create and test the UDXs of a particular project, you can package them and export the package to another user. That user can then import and deploy the package. In this way, you can transfer UDXs to different Db2 instances.
Managing UDX projects
In addition to the deployment and delivery tasks, you can carry out additional UDX management tasks.
