Configure data source JDBC providers to use pureQuery in a Java SE environment

Use this task to configure the application data source JDBC provider to use pureQuery to access DB2 in a Java Standard Edition (Java SE) environment.

If you need to use multiple DB2 package collections, see the information center topic, Configure pureQuery to use multiple package collections, before continuing with this task. IBM Optim™ PureQuery Runtime makes use of DB2 packages. These packages include information for one or more SQL statements and are stored in the DB2 catalog. You must first run the wsdbgen command on a JPA application to create the packages. The wsdbgen command creates an XML file containing SQL statement information. This XML file must be included into the application JAR file. The DB2 bind command uses this file as input to create the DB2 package.

• JPA sets the IBM Optim PureQuery Runtime property pdq.executionMode to the value STATIC.
• The class path must include the installation location for the IBM Optim PureQuery Runtime. See the information center topic on installing IBM Optim PureQuery Runtime for more information.
• The JPA provider implementation must be JPA for the application server (com.ibm.websphere.persistence.PersistenceProviderImpl). The OpenJPA persistence provider does not provide support for pureQuery.
• The wsdbgen command requires the URL of a database. The wsdbgen command forces a synchronize mapping function that creates or alters the required tables. For DB2 zOS, V8 unique indexes and LOB tables must be manually created prior to executing the wsdbgen command.

IBM Optim PureQuery Runtime properties are specified in a pdq.properties file in the META-INF directory of the application JAR file. The pdq.ExecutionMode property is defaulted to STATIC for JPA applications. We can use the pdqProperties property to use pureQuery in DYNAMIC mode. See the information center topic, Using pureQuery in dynamic mode, for more information. PDQ properties, if specified, pass on to the IBM Optim PureQuery Runtime. See the IBM Optim PureQuery Runtime documentation for list of properties and valid values.

• wsjpa.jdbc.CollectionId: String value specifying the collection ID to use. This parameter overrides any collection ID used during wsdbgen.

Read more about the DB2 JAR level compliance for IBM Optim PureQuery Runtime at the IBM Support website: System requirements for IBM Optim PureQuery Runtime for Linux, UNIX, and Windows.

1. Update the application data source JDBC provider configuration to include the IBM Optim PureQuery Runtime JAR files. Include the pdq.jar and pdqmgmt.jar files on the class path in addition to the JDBC driver jar files. Either define a new JDBC provider or modify an existing provider to include the JAR files. The class path must include the installation location for the IBM Optim PureQuery Runtime. See the information center topics on JDBC provider settings and installing IBM Optim PureQuery Runtime for more information.
2. Using the DB2 bind command provided by IBM Optim PureQuery Runtime, bind the XML file to the database. This creates the DB2 packages. Refer to the information center topic on the pureQuery Bind utility for more information.

To reconfigure the data source for JDBC, remove the pdq.jar and pdqmgmt.jar from the class path.
