IBM Dependency Based Build Version 2.0 has introduced some breaking changes in its APIs due to the simplification of the infrastructure setup.
Part 1 - Migrate existing datastore managed in Derby to Db2z documents the database migration from the Derby to Db2 for z/OS (Db2z), which was a technical debt in their environment that had to be addressed before being able to move to DBB 2.0. Moreover, DBB 2.0 doesn't support Derby as a database provider, making this migration step mandatory for the DAT team.
Part 2 - Preparing the customized build framework implementation and GitLab pipelines for DBB 2.0 explains the necessary changes to the existing environment and GitLab pipelines to prepare the migration of an application with minimal impact and no disruption.
Part 3 - Migration activities for our applications describes the actual migration activities for one of their sample applications.
