check Installation and Configuration Guide doc:


Type 4 JDBC drivers are pure Java drivers which provide direct access to DB2 database features through network communication.

The type 4 driver is considered an independent product. It does not require the DB2 client to be installed.

For DB2 Z and LUW the portal UI will expose a tab for a DB2 connection which defines a type-4 JDBC connection. However, you will see that it wants you to enter something for a CLI connection. Just enter some junk name for the database as the page is assuming that someone wants to to define either just CLI or both CLI and JDBC.
