db2-laravelumen is a fork of Cooperl22/laravel-db2 in order to support Laravel and Lumen v5.2. It provides a DB2 Connection by extending the Illuminate Database component working with both Fluent (query builder) and Eloquent.

• Configuration
• Usage

Installation

Ensure you have the proper drivers installed. For our AS400 system, I installed iSeriesAccess-7.1.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm from ibm using alien for our debian distribution and configuring the /etc/odbc.ini and /etc/odbcinst.ini.

Add db2-laravelumen to your composer.json file:

"require": {
    "geiger-it/db2-laravelumen": "~3.0"
}

Use composer to install this package.

$ composer update

Registering the Package

Add the db2-laravelumen Service Provider to your bootstrap/app.php:

$app->register(geiger-it\Database\DB2\DB2ServiceProvider::class);

Configuration

Put your DB2 connection and credential information into your config/database.php file. You'll notice Lumen does not have a config directory, but will read from it when you create it.

    ],

driver setting is either 'odbc' for ODBC connection or 'ibm' for pdo_ibm connection Then if driver is 'odbc', database must be set to ODBC connection name. if driver is 'ibm', database must be set to IBMi database name (WRKRDBDIRE).

Usage

Consult the Laravel framework documentation.
