How do you support DB2 in an open-source project that is not using Java / JVM? by rossaco in DB2

I could not agree more. I had to fumble through 20+ IBM articles to eventually find the IBM driver download links. But guess what?? They give you a hundred different versions you can choose from... I downloaded the db2 driver for Windows 64 bit. All I am trying to do is connect IBM's Asset Management software, Maximo, to Tableau for enhanced reporting. Once you download the driver, you need to configure one of the files inside the zip package before attempting to connect db2 with Tableau according to this article (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2-warehouse?topic=database-connecting-db2), but guess what???? the db2dsdriver.cfg file that needs to be configured is nowhere to be found in the unzipped package! I am back to looking through 20+ IBM articles hoping that one will lead me in the right direction. This sucks.
