Re: Access Update Requires Journaling

If you've recently installed iSeries Access (V5R3) on your PC, the new default 
for the ODBC driver's "Commit Mode" is Read Uncommitted (*CHG).  This requires 
that your files be journaled for most operations (except read, I think).

To change the default, go into the configured driver, select the "Server" tab, 
go into the Advanced options and set the "Commit Mode" to Commit Immediate 
(*NONE).

Thanks,

Hello. Has anyone had this problem? We're using Access to update a file on a
V5R3 machine. We get the error
"ODBC--update on a linked table 'xxxx_xxxx' failed.
SQL7008 - xxxx in xxxx not valid for operation. (#-7008)" that seems to be
common.

>From what I understand from the archives, this typically means that the ODBC
setting is expecting commitment control and the file is not being journaled.
However, the ODBC setting for Commit mode is Commit immediate (*NONE).

If we start journaling the file, the update works correctly. Why is the ODBC
connection ignoring the Commit immediate setting? I'd rather not journal the
files we're updating.

Thanks,
Jeff
