Wrappers are mechanisms by which the federated server interacts with data sources. The federated server uses routines stored in a library called a wrapper module to implement a wrapper. Wrappers are supported for DB2 for Common Server v9.7 and higher.
You can create a wrapper in any of the following ways:
Select to access the List of Wrappers, and click the Add a Row tool.
Right-click the model (or a package) in the Browser, and select .
Use the Create tool next to the Wrapper field on the General tab of a server property sheet (see Servers (DB2)).
You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a wrapper property sheet, double-click its Browser entry in the Wrappers folder. The following extended attributes are available on the Options tab:
