This jdbc information is based on Netezza (7.2.0) JDBC for InfoSphere Information Server11.5. so, here are a few pointers for building an IBM InfoSphere Information Server (IIS) isjdbc.config file.
Where to place JAR files
For Infosphere Information Server installs, as a standard practice, create a custom jdbc file in the install path. And install any download Jar file not already installed by other applications in the jdbc folder. Usually, jdbc folder path looks something like this:
- /opt/IBM/InformationServer/jdbc
CLASSPATH
- nzjdbc3.jar
- Classpath must have complete path and jar name
CLASS_NAMES
- netezza.Driver
JAR Source URL

File name
- nz-linuxclient-v7.2.0.0.tar.gz
Unpack tar.gz
- tar -zxvf nz-linuxclient-v7.2.0.0.tar.gz -C /opt/IBM/InformationServer/jdbc
DB2 DEFAULT PORT
- 1521
JDBC URL FORMAT
- jdbc:netezza://:/
JDBC URL EXAMPLE
- jdbc:netezza://10.999.0.99:5480/dashboard
isjdbc.config EXAMPLE
CLASSPATH=usr/jdbc/nzjdbc3.jar;/usr/jdbc/nzjdbc.jar;/usr/local/nz/lib/nzjdbc3.jar;
CLASS_NAMES= org.netezza.Driver;
Isjdbc.config FILE PLACEMENT
- /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine

You are the best. I have been searching the JDBC drivers/client for 2 hours and IBM website is so deep and big that there was no easy way to find it. Did too much of digging on the web finally found this page that gives me direct URL of what I wanted. THANK YOU!
