CICS PA Plug-in integration with IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator

CICS PA allows you to store data in DB2 tables. CICS PA Plug in can then query such data from the Explorer.

IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator is the IBM strategic appliance for data intensive DB2 queries.

Lack of integration of CICS PA Plugin with IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator is:
- Blocking the adoption of CICS PA Plug in and
- Conveying the idea of IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator not being strategic for IBM.

With slight modification to the load utility data can be loaded to the appliance and can be queried with traditional instrumentation (QMF). At the stage, data cannot be queried form the Explorer.
