IP address change of Database partitions

Hi

In our organization the database is in DB2 for AS400 ( iSeries). The Datastage server is in Unix. It connects to the DB2 AS400 via gateway or better known as DB2 connect. I have a question on an issue-


Now IP addresses on all of our iSeries partitions are going to change soon, but the DNS names will stay the same.

Should we have to change anything in the Datastage enviroment. Our job has all Database name as parameter and that remains the same.

Please let me know

As long as the DNS names stay the same, you should be insulated from the IP change. Of course, the DNS server must be updated to translate correctly. In addition, make sure all processes work using DNS and not the named IP.
