Open source Node.js DB2 for i driver

The Node.js DB2 for i driver (n1) is currently closed source. As we (IBM and community) continue to further build on top of the driver (n2) it will beneficial to have transparency of how the driver works and potentially allow community contributions (n3). Also, by having it open source it would allow for more focused collaboration (i.e. Bitbucket issues).

n1 - http://bit.ly/dw-nodejs-async
n2 - Node.js sails-db2fori adapter: https://bitbucket.org/litmis/sails-db2fori
n3 - Similar to how the Ruby DB2 for i adapter/driver work: http://bit.ly/litmis-ruby-ibm_db


Use Case:

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. With IBM i supporting open source technologies, broader support such as requested by this RFE should be provided.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac

    For more details about CAAC's role with RFEs, see http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/Blogs/i-Can/May-2017/COMMON-Americas-Advisory-Council-%28CAAC%29-and-RFEs/
