@DarkStar1 this seems more about DB2 ?? Is DB2 == object Server?? — kinkajou

I haven't been in the dbase dev circle for long but my understanding is that your ORM is a framework layer in your application that connects with the database Look at Hibernate for example. — Dark Star1

@Dark Star1 So is it same as connecting to general database? — kinkajou

Yeah except you let the ORM do all the work of connecting and managing your object persistence. — Dark Star1

If I'm not mistaken, you want to access archived documents from an IBM OnDemand archiving system. The system consists of archived documents stored by the Object Server and associated index information stored by the Library Server.

While the Library Server uses a SQL database, the Object Server doesn't. So you cannot access it with JDBC.

However, there is a Java API called ODWEK (OnDemand Web Enablement Kit). You can find the Red Book on the net. And if you google for ODWEK, you can find more informatin about it.

Do we access tables in object server using ODWEK The first chaper of documentations shows some file system ?

Codo Over a year ago

The Object Server has no tables. It stores just the documents. All the additional structured information is stored by the Library Server. But it should matter to you because ODWEK provides access to both parts of the overall system.

Actually I wanted to access alert.status table from object server and copy it's content to my local database. Could you suggest me some approch??

Codo Over a year ago

I've never come across a table called alert.status. Are you sure this is about the OnDemand archiving system?
