Is DB2 Connect installation and license installation during build/deploy a good way to ensure mainframe connectivity to IBM Blue zone? My PHP Cloud Foundry app is on w3ibm.bluemix.
If yes shall I update the forked PHP Buildpack on GIT, by adding DB2 Connect to it? Or shall I use some sort of docker image for this? Any other idea?
I found that there is no need to install a DB2 Connect. I could not install it anyway on Bluemix. There might be services for this, but at the end I had to use DB2 PHP extension of the PHP build-pack and after deploy I copied the license file to the license folder from PHP code. Details here.
