HiT ODBC Server/DB2
HiT ODBC Server/DB2 Developer Edition
HiT ODBC Server/DB2 (for ODBC DB2 or ODBC mainframe) provides a secure, centralized, Open Database Connectivity
(ODBC) service for NT Server applications and for ODBC client applications. HiT ODBC Server/DB2 enables NT
Server software, such as Microsoft IIS, access to DB2 data and thereby to clients of the server software.
HiT ODBC Server/DB2 also allows Windows clients to access DB2 data through standard ODBC applications while
limiting access to only the data an administrator allows. Because it offers centralized configuration and
administration, support costs are greatly reduced. For both browser applications and ODBC-enabled
applications, HiT ODBC Server/DB2 allows for a secure and manageable DB2 access.

Security
HiT ODBC Server/DB2 allows an administrator to pre-define data sources for server and downstream Windows
clients. These data sources are maintained at the server and cannot be modified. The included HiT ODBC
thin client only communicates with the ODBC server, providing a security gateway before the DB2 host
server.
Configurations
HiT ODBC Server/DB2 can be used in two configurations:
· Server ODBC Applications
A Windows NT server application or service locally uses the ODBC
service to access DB2 data and redirect it where necessary. For
example, using the Microsoft IIS web server and Active Server
Pages, downstream web browser clients can access DB2 data.
· Client ODBC Applications
A thin client presents the ODBC API to a Windows client
application and transports the ODBC commands to the ODBC
service. Only server-defined data sources are available to client
ODBC applications. For example, a custom Visual Basic
application uses the thin client ODBC API to access DB2 data
via the ODBC service.
Server Requirements:
For the Windows Server
· Windows Server 2003 (32/64 bit), Windows Server 2000 or
Windows NT Server 4.0
For the Server
· Pentium processor; does not have to be a dedicated PC
· Windows 2000/NT Server
· 32MB Memory
· 12MB Disk Space
· Ethernet card operable with TCP/IP network protocols
· Microsoft Internet Information Server (for ODBC Thin Client
Applications)
· TCP/IP or APPC connection to the DB2 Server
