DataDeploy using different db2java.zip files...

System

We'd like to deploy data elements from our TeamSite server to two different DB2 servers using DataDeploy. The DB2 servers are both the same version, but the fixpack levels are different; hence the db2java.zip versions are different. Is it possible to configure DataDeploy so that we can use one db2java.zip for deployment to one DB2 server and another one for the other DB2 server?

I don't think DataDeploy can be configured like that. You'd probably have to play games with driver swapping. Or else set up DD on two different machines that have access to your source files.

Are you sure you can't use the same driver for both fix pack levels of the database? I'm not a database expert by any means, but I'm surprised that compatibility isn't maintained by IBM.

Another thought is to employ OD-DD sync techniques to get around the problem. (Maybe this is overkill, though.) For example, use OD to deploy DCRs to a target system, then use a DNR on the target system to call DD (with the appropriate driver) to insert the deployed DCR into the database. If you decide to investigate this route, take a look at the latest OD docs on this subject as well as a DevNet presentation that should be in the archives.
