RE: DB2 UDB connection failed

["Reinardy, James" <jreinardy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

If all you are trying to do is connect .NET to your AS400, the easy way
is the new .NET provider that comes with iSeries Access V5R3.  We are
using it for all of our .NET applications even though our iSeries itself
is still at V5R2.  The ODBC driver will work as well, we used that
before the new provider became available.

Regards,

Jim

Steve,

To connect your .net applications to the 400, I think you will need the
relevant database driver, presumably an ODBC driver. Im think Client
Access comes with an ODBC driver, but knowing zilch about .net, don't
know if that's compatible

Subject: DB2 UDB connection failed


I have downloaded DB2 universal database to my windows 2000 PC.  The
plan
being to use it to connect my .NET applications to the as400 database.

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/

I am getting an error when I test the connection to the as400: 

CLI connection failed.
SQL8002N  Connect processing failed; a valid product license was not
found.
SQLSTATE=42968

I have a valid license for v5r1, 5722ss1, 5050 on my system.  But
apparantly, I need a license for something else.

I called the Boulder license key center and the friendly people there
said
they can give me a temporary key, but they dont know which product I
need to
be licensed to.

That is the question.  What as400 product and feature is needed for DB2
to
be able to connect from the PC to the AS400?

thanks,

-Steve
