IBM Db2 ​

IBM Db2 is a high-performance, enterprise-grade relational database system designed for reliability, scalability, and transactional integrity.

Bruin supports DB2 as a source for Ingestr assets, and you can use it to ingest data from DB2 into your data warehouse.

In order to set up DB2 connection, you need to add a configuration item in the .bruin.yml file and in asset file.

Follow the steps below to correctly set up DB2 as a data source and run ingestion.

Configuration ​

Step 1: Add a connection to .bruin.yml file ​

To connect to DB2, you need to add a configuration item to the connections section of the .bruin.yml file. This configuration must comply with the following schema:

yaml
  db2:
    - name: "db2"
      username: "user_123"
      password: "pass_123"
      host: "localhost"
      port: 50000
      database: "testdb"
  • username: The username to connect to the database
  • password: The password for the user
  • host: The host address of the database server
  • port: The port number the database server is listening
  • database: the name of the database to connect to

Step 2: Create an asset file for data ingestion ​

To ingest data from DB2, you need to create an asset configuration file. This file defines the data flow from the source to the destination. Create a YAML file (e.g., db2_ingestion.yml) inside the assets folder and add the following content:

yaml
name: public.db1
type: ingestr
connection: neon

parameters:
  source_connection: db2
  source_table: 'test.user'

  destination: postgres
  • name: The name of the asset.
  • type: Specifies the type of the asset. Set this to ingestr to use the ingestr data pipeline.
  • connection: This is the destination connection, which defines where the data should be stored. For example: postgres indicates that the ingested data will be stored in a Postgres database.
  • source_connection: The name of the DB2 connection defined in .bruin.yml.
  • source_table: The name of the data table in DB2 that you want to ingest.

Step 3: Run asset to ingest data ​

bash
bruin run assets/db2_ingestion.yml

As a result of this command, Bruin will ingest data from the given DB2 table into your Postgres database.
