3 1 Overview of the Application Verification Process To achieve the Ready for IBM Analytics mark for your application IBM requires completion of the Application Verification Process, which is designed to provide clients with assurance that our products work together. This guide contains essential information about accessing our technology and contains the form needed to submit test results to the IBM Analytics Ecosystem Team for review. We believe that you, the application providers, are the best judge of whether your application is functioning correctly. However, should you need technical assistance from our subject matter experts, we are here to work with you. We expect that in most cases you have done appropriate levels of testing, which are far more suitable for proving application readiness than those we might attempt to provide. We do look to verify and archive this document, when completed, as a record of the process used to achieve the verification that our products work together smoothly. Once approved, you will be able to download and use the Ready for IBM Analytics mark on collateral and be included in the Business Partner Application Showcase. 2 Platform Specific Considerations Db2 2.1 Introduction Our hybrid data management offerings, including the Db2 and Db2 Warehouse products as well as Db2 for z/os and BigSQL, are built on a common SQL engine.
