RE: iSeries and Sharepoint portal

Thanks Lukas, we have used the ADO driver for some of our own .net apps we wrote to run on a PC and access DB2. In a test we did .net accessing our DB2/400 was actually faster than .net accessing MS SQL Server. I think if we wanted to develop our own Sharepoint webparts using Visual Studio we could easily access DB2/400 using ADO but the webparts that come with Sharepoint that create the dashboard are where we would like to link up to DB2/400.

I'm not a Windows Programmer, but the technology behind MOSS 2007 / SPS
3.0 is .NET 2.0, in which including any .NET code is easily possible.

IBM offers a standard ADO database access .NET piece that ships with
iSeries Access

See:

http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/access/dotnet/

It might make sense to get someone with SPS experience on the boat to
get such a connectivity done in sufficient time - .NET is radically
different from the programming perspective on the System i.

Subject: iSeries and Sharepoint portal

Our campus adopted Microsoft Sharepoint portal for our intranet.
Sharepoint portal has the typical executive dashboard portlet (webpart
in MS world) but as far as I can tell from all the documentation I read
the data referenced by the portlet has to reside in SQL Server but all
of our data resides in DB2/400. Has anyone worked in a Sharpoint/iSeries
environment and been able to link the two different worlds?
