Idea / RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this enhancement request has been in status of Uncommitted Candidate / Future Consideration. For several releases now, IIB / ACE has offered users the option of bringing their own database drivers in the manner described in this enhancement. We also include special wording in our system requirements pages for how this works in our support model (copied below for convenience):
IBM App Connect Enterprise provides support for the ODBC 3.5 API on Windows and Unix platforms. Users may supply compatible drivers for database platforms not covered by the set of databases supported by the included database drivers. In these cases IBM will provide support for this configuration subject to the following limitations:
IBM App Connect Enterprise will undertake to make defect fixes that are a result of an incorrect usage of the ODBC API by IBM App Connect Enterprise.
IBM App Connect Enterprise will only undertake to work around issues related to faulty third party drivers on a best-effort basis.
Status of the request is updated to Delivered.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Integration
Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Connectivity and Integration
Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
