The SAP Note provides a comprehensive guide on the new XDN database driver technology jointly developed by SAP and IBM for DB2 on IBM i platforms. It introduces major features such as increased buffer sizes for better throughput, built-in network performance analysis, driverless connectivity, improved transaction stopping in SAP GUI, and end-to-end support from application server to database. Detailed instructions cover installation and switching between XDN and the older XDA drivers, including server and port configurations, without storing sensitive user information. Key notes on version compatibility and necessary patches for LIB_DBSL and ILE are also detailed.
