Hi,

I would expect that Alfresco can be configured to run on your platform.

However, we have done some testing with DB2 and have run into some deadlocking issues.
But, if you do give Alfresco a go on your platform then please post your experiences and questions to the forum and we'll try to help you with any issues you may have.

Thanks,

Steve

Is there a wiki or how-to available for setting up Alfresco on an IBM System i using DB2/400? Is it possible?

Hi

We are still resolving issues with deployment for DB2. At the moment I would expect locking issues. The other added bit of fun is that DB2 is case sensitive by default and the other DBs we support are not.

Hi

See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Database_Configuration#DB2

for advice on DB2 set up.

Note, DB2 is not supported.

Let us know how you get on.
