To simplify .NET application deployment, IBM provides the IBM® Data
Server Driver Package, a small-footprint client
that is ideal for use in mass deployment scenarios.
You
can use the IBM Data Server
Runtime Client instead, if the additional features of that client
are required over the IBM Data
Server Driver Package.
Before you begin
- Before deployment, you must build your .NET application, which
you can do with either Visual Studio or the command line. For more
information about building .NET applications, see the related tasks.
- Computers that you use to build .NET applications and computers
where you will deploy .NET applications must have a supported version
of the Windows operating
system, in addition to other software, as described in Supported .NET development software:
- Build systems
- Windows operating system
- Visual Studio
- .NET Framework Redistributable Package
- .NET Framework Software Development Kit
- Deployment systems
- Windows operating system
- .NET Framework Redistributable Package
Procedure
To deploy a .NET application:
- Install the IBM Data
Server Driver Package onto the computers where
you will deploy your application. During the installation, set the IBM Data
Server Driver Package installation to be the default
database client interface copy.
Note: Any existing database
applications that run against an IBM data
server will use this new installation of the IBM Data
Server Driver Package. Test those applications
against the new driver before rolling out your deployed .NET application.
- Install your built application onto the computers where
your application will run.
