DB2 - Package Collection

We are trying to connect to a DB2 server with the new OPDG in pipelines. When connecting, we need to set the Package Collection property for it to work correctly. This property is available in DFG2/PQ and ADF pipelines, but doesn't seem to be available in Fabric pipelines. 

 

Is there another way to set this? Will this property be availble soon?

 

 

Fabric Pipelines:

 

 

Power Query:

ADF:

    Hi Joshrodgers123 ,

    Internal Team confirmed that workaround doesn't work
    Currently, even PQ shows package collection, it is not stored.

    Team is going to have a discussion internally. So far, please treat it as a feature gap.
    Apologize for the inconvenience.

    Yes, this is IBM DB2. In pipelines, it just says DB2, but in DFG2/Power Query it says IBM DB2. They are the same thing.

    I think the documentation you listed is outdated and hasn't been updated for the release of on prem gateway on pipelines.

        Hi Joshrodgers123 ,

        We have an update from internal team -

        This is considered as a feature gap. Team is going to work on it, at present we don't have a concrete ETA. Also you are right, doc is not updated yet. It should appear here once it is updated - Connector overview - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn


        In between, this should be a workaround - 

        You can create the connection in Power Query, and then use it in pipeline.

        Note: For on-premises connection, it is resuable. But for cloud connection, it is not.

         

        Hope this is helpful. Please let me know incase of further queries.
