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:
Solved! Go to Solution.
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I think the documentation you listed is outdated and hasn't been updated for the release of on prem gateway on pipelines.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 ,
At this time, we are reaching out to the internal team to get some help on this .
We will update you once we hear back from them.
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.
Thanks for the update.
I don't think that workaround will work though. The connection settings like package collection, sql statement, and connection timeout are specific to a query, not a connection. They do not transfer from one dataflow to another, or from a dataflow to a pipeline.
Hi @Joshrodgers123 ,
I'm still waiting for a response from the Internal Team. We will update you once we hear back from them.
Appreciate your patience.

Hi @Anonymous - is it possible to follow up with the internal team to see if there is an ETA on this being available? This is a blocker for us to use the DB2 connector.
Hi @Joshrodgers123 ,
Unfortunately we don't have any update on the ETA from the Internal Team.
Appreciate your patience.
Hi @Joshrodgers123 ,
Glad to know that your query was resolved. Please continue using Fabric Community on your further queries.
Hi @Joshrodgers123 ,
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
I cannot find anything like DB2 in Dataflow Gen2, but I can find IBM DB2. Can you please confirm if you are talking about the same?
According to the documentation -
IBM Db2 database connector overview - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
If possible can you please share the enlarger screenshot, so I can understand on which exact connector you were talking about.
