Does the DBX Add On for Db2 support Db2 on z/OS

The old connector didn't support Db2 on Z.   Wondering if the latest version in Splunk base now supports mainframe Db2 on z/OS.   Thanks.

Hi @RebeccaKeller 

No, as of version 3.18.2, Splunk DB Connect does not officially support DB2 on z/OS (mainframe).

The documentation only states that "IBM DB2 is supported when the database is running on Linux. Splunk doesn't test or support DB2 on AS/400 or Windows." 

However technically, DB2 offers a universal JDBC driver that can (in theory) communicate with DB2 on z/OS. Some tools can connect this way if the correct configuration and drivers are used—but official vendor support is another matter.
