August 2025 Highlights for IBM/guardium-supported-datasources. Delivered key data-source improvements and platform alignment to enhance data quality and business value across the product. Three core deliverables were completed: (1) Standardized DB2 naming from DB2 to Db2 across CSV data sources to align with matrix type definitions, reducing data quality issues; (2) Added Db2 for z/OS support in ESTAP configuration and ensured OnPrem_ExStap.csv reflects Db2 for z/OS correctly (with a rollback to the ESTAP change to preserve correctness); (3) Updated MongoDB Atlas references by removing deprecated IBM Cloud usage and reintroducing Atlas support with updated documentation to reflect current product strategy. These changes improve data source consistency, broaden platform compatibility, and align with the current cloud data strategy.
