RE: DB2/400 to DB2 on WinNT/2K

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian,

I've never worked with db/2 for NT, but I would assume that it supports
DRDA. It's possible that all you need to do is configure the as400 to
connect with your pc server. WRKRDBDIRE should allow you to configure the IP
address of your pc. I am not sure if there's any configuration work that
must be done on the pc, but you may want to look at documentation about DRDA
setup.

Subject: DB2/400 to DB2 on WinNT/2K


What is the preferred method to transfer data between DB2/400 and DB2 on
WinNT/2000?

A WinNT/2000 server running DB2 acts as a front end accepting transactions
and performing initial data validation. We need to transfer these
transactions to the AS/400 and process them. Once the processing is
complete, any changes to the validation tables need to be sent to the
WinNT/2K server.  Other than an FTP transfer, what is a reliable method to
move this data between the two boxes? They are connected through a VPN over
the internet.

Data Joiner has been ruled out because it requires the netfinity card within
the AS/400. Would DB2 Connect be appropriate for this situation?

TIA,
