cannot find IBM DB2 Express-C for download - download

I have spent at least one hour trying to find the tar.gz for Linux, for version 11.1 or at least 10.5. All IBM links either don't work or take me to general DB2 pages that have nothing for Express-C. It's as if IBM is hiding the download links. In the past I have downloaded it several times from URLs that now don't work. I was only able to find the Windows version at a non-IBM site (a version I don't want).
Thanks for any pointers.

You can find the Express-C download at the below link:
https://www-01.ibm.com/marketing/iwm/iwm/web/pickUrxNew.do?source=swg-db2expressc

If you are not using cloud based Db2 offerings, at the present date you can choose only between a docker-image based solution (IBM Db2 Developer Community Edition), or a trial version (90 days) of locally installed Db2.
The docker-image solution is currently V11.1 based and runs on Linux and Mac and Windows provided that the prerequisites are met.
Both offerings are accessible via this link

Re Db2 Express-C, it may have been withdrawn from marketing. Study this thread:

If you have a Passport Advantage contract (for paying customers) you may find additional downloads.

Db2 Developer-C Edition is a non-docker version that can be used for non-production use for free

You can find the Express-C 11.1 in this link (IBM Account required)

IBM App Connect Toolkit with MQ libraries on Windows 10

I have IBM App Connect Enterprice Toolkit on my Win 10 machine. Works OK.
But now I need to use IBM MQ queues. And that seems to need some MQ libraries installed on my setup.
How can I install those missing libraries?
There probably is a installation package, but I just cant find one.
The main link you want is https://developer.ibm.com/articles/mq-downloads/, which will lead you to https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/mq-connect-app-queue-manager-windows/ which will lead you to https://ibm.biz/mqdevwindows
The final one is the download, but I'd recommend going through the steps in the second link for help on how to get it all set up.

Are there any ready-to-use VMs having Oracle Database and EM Cloud Control?

The thing is that I am studying Oracle database administration, and I want to test everything out on a VM where it has Oracle Database 12c edition, along with Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.
Are there any VMs that are ready to be used after deployment having those products? It doesn't matter if it have linux OS or windows.
Thanks in advance!
See Pre-Built Developer VMs (for Oracle VM VirtualBox). Yes, I know - you want Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (EMCO) but I wouldn't know whether any of those has it or not.
I'm not a DBA so I have no idea what it actually is, but - if it can be downloaded and installed separately (why not? Most, if not all Oracle software is free to download and use for educational purposes), perhaps you could install one of those virtual machines and - additionally - install EMCO.

Appropriate Oracle download for hibernate-dialect org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect

I am altering a legacy software implemented with java spring. Now the challenge is I want to determine the appropriate Database that was used during the initial development.
I have seen somewhere on the code that that the hibernate dialect was org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect
So i want to use that piece information to determine which version of oracle to install.
Please i am new to Oracle, So a link to an appropriate url will be appreciated.
9 is an older version of Oracle Database that is no longer supported, and it is no longer available for download from Oracle's Database Software Downloads page. The Oracle9Dialect was deprecated back in 2008, so I wish you the best of luck with your legacy work because I'm sure it is long overdue.
You can request version 9 from Oracle if you have a valid Oracle Database product license (any version,) but if you do not, your options will likely only be third party hosts or acquiring installation media for version 9 by some other means. If you are working with an organization that has you supporting this legacy software, you may have some luck looking through old installation media or asking someone who has been with the company for a while.
From Oracle (bottom of Database Software Downloads page):
Oracle Database 10.2 and 11.1 are no longer available for download. The software is available as a media or FTP request for those customers who own a valid Oracle Database product license for any edition. To request access to these releases, follow the instructions in Oracle Support Document 1071023.1 (Requesting Physical Shipment or Download URL for Software Media) from My Oracle Support. NOTE: for Oracle Database 10.2, you should request 10.2.0.1 even if you want to install a later patch set. Once you install 10.2.0.1 you can then apply any 10.2 patch set. Similarly, for 11.1 request 11.1.0.6 which must be applied before installing 11.1.0.7. Patch sets can be downloaded from the Patches and Updates tab on My Oracle Support.

Cannot install ibm db2 express-c V10.1 on mac

I am new to db2 10.1, i have used an older version of it before so, i am unfamiliar with the installation.
I searched online how to install it and followed this site http://programmingzen.com/files/db2onmac.pdf
but when i try to run 'db2setup' inside expc i get these errors.(i uploaded it to google drive so it would be easier to download and view externally)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxdZNdArow5yRkhlMzlIdTFsemc/view?usp=sharing
I noticed that all these errors are from Xcode; i have Xcode installed and updated to the latest version , and yes i have also tried to use 'db2_install', it gave me the same errors but after them it installed normally in '/opt/IBM/db2/V10.1', i also used sudo before each one of them, so when i gave up i searched the internet, but i couldn't find an answer, then i tried to delete it using 'db2_deinstall' but it didn't work at all, so i don't know how to reinstall.
Right now i have 'IBM' folder, but i don't even know how to start it to see if it works or not, and i don't know how to open 'db2 first steps' or where is it.
Thank you in advance.
Edit: i am trying to install db2 express-c and the only version available for mac is 10.1 .
If you are trying DB2-Express-C V10.1 on a Mac, then why not try instead
the "DB2 Developer Community Edition" which is supported on "Mac OS: 10.12 (Sierra) +", a free download. It contains DB2 V11.1.2.2 at today's date.
If you need V10.1 for some reason, check out the IBM express-c forum which also has some troubleshooting questions regarding Mac support.

Is it possible to run Websphere Application Server 6.1 Test environment in Rational Software Architect (RSA) version 9.0?

Is it possible to run Websphere Application Server 6.1 Test environment in Rational Software Architect (RSA) version 9.0?
I don't mean does it officially support it.. I mean, can you "somehow" get it working in RSA9.
For that you would need a server adapter that you can plug in into RSA. Since RSA is based on eclipse, a server adapter working for eclipse should work for RSA.
Having said that, it is very unlikely (although I do not know for sure) that anyone (in the very least IBM) has provided a publicly available server adapter for WAS 6.1. Usually these are preinstalled with the product and as you already have noticed WAS 6.1 <-> RSA 9.0 is not the best combo. Only supported combinations are preinstalled with IBM products.
It is quite possible to write your own server adapter but since WAS 6.1 is a closed product you may and probably will run into many problems along the way. To get started on writing on your own server adapter you can have a look here. Also some more information about WAS server adapters on eclipse in earlier stackoverflow posts.
Rational licensing is usually not limited to a certain product version, thus you could install and run (provided your licensing allows it) an older version of RSA that supports WAS 6.1 on the same machine where you have your RSA 9 installation.
