Data Studio Developer is only distributed on Windows and Linux/Intel.
This product is based on Eclipse and integrates Java code to provide
the capabilities of the product.
Part of the I(ntellectual) Property is from IBM so we can understand
IBM charges for the capabilities.
But the assembly process (wich is also know-how and IP) results only
in a Windows and Linux/Intel product.
No AIX no Mac Os X no Solaris no Linux on Power.
I would like to have it on ... (indeed on several of the missing
platforms) so what to do?
Assemble it.
If IBM does not "productize" on some platforms due to the nature of
the building components (Eclipse and Java), an assembly "note" should
be available to allow the assembly for other platforms. Yes assembly
is also IP but as this is a chargeable product, I see no problem on
this side.
