Generally Yes (RACF, VM, OE) but in this case I think No. It is not actually
LISTSERV (TM) but some other forum-type software. I think.

The db2-l listserv  software/server was retired a number of years ago. 
In its place the new home for the forum is at IDUG.ORG.


one will need to register but afterwards you can opt in for the mail 
reflector. While not exactly the same, the benefits/resources are.


If you have any  questions feel free in contacting my off list.



For transparency sake, i am one of the administrators of the DB2-l forum.

You are right.

We do not use listserv but another facility.

DB2 Forum

2015-03-08 Thread Donald J.
Can someone recommend a good DB2 Forum?

The one at IBM developerWorks is not very active.
As example, 17 of the last 25 questions have gone
with 0 replies.  6 of those with only 1 reply.

I do see an IDUG DB2-L forum.

Agreed.

As I recall you have to sign up at the IDUG Web site (www.idug.org). 

I find the usability of the listserve software itself to be poorer than this
one, but it is a good forum. The heavyweights hang out there. Very active.
Both Z and LUW DB2.
