Defining AS400 Linked Server

fn
Can anyone help me understand what it takes to define a Linked Server
connection to an IBM eSeries (AS400)? Do I need Microsoft's SNA Server
or some other product or can I simply do it with the tools provided with
SQL Server 2000?

Any guidance would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Farid,

I managed this installing the AS400 Client Access for windows components
on the database-server.
At least you need the as400 odbc-database-driver on the windows-server.
Create a (system) odbc connection to your as400 and then create a linked
server to this odbc connection.
you maybe have to tweak / play around with the odbc-options for the
as400-connection to make it work.

just to point out the direction...

I found IBM's Client Access drivers to be error prone and slow.

Although not-free, Hit Software, www.hitsw.com, provides OLEDB and
ODBC drivers for accessing DB2/AS400 servers. I used the OLEDB driver
with great success.

I am trying to connect to a DB2 database on an AS400 via ASP. On the server I can connect fine using VB, but keep getting a communcation link failure when using the exact same code in ASP. Here is my code (I know the AS400 ODBC DSN works ok because I can connect to it from MS Access with no problems): set cnn = server.createobject("adodb.connection") set rs = server.createobject("adodb.recordset") cnn.open "DSN=SYSTEM2"

Hi, I'm trying to dug this issue since couple of days but couldn't find any solution. I have SQL server 2000 SP 3 and Host Integration Server 2000 SP 1 running. I'm able to download data from AS400/DB2(V5R2M0) into SQL server, using Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 in DTS. But when I tried to upload the same table (downloaded from AS400 into Sql server) back to AS400, I got the following error.

I posted this to the adonet newsgroup and was recommended to post here. Thank you for any help: Okay, I need a bit of advice. I have an ODBC data adapter being filled by AS400 which is very slow. If I were they user I would think that the computer locked and try to stop the program, reboot, whatever. So because management is still "investingating" ways of getting a faster connection from our primary AS400 (which will never go away)...

Hello all! I'm having a problem with a project I'm working on and I'd like to ask for anyone's input that might be helpful. I'm building a rather large front-end application connecting to an AS400 for the back end database and I'm experiencing slow response times when executing sql statements.
