Re: Linked server error

[Dean.Eshleman@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

We are using the IBM DB2 UDB for iSeries IBMDA400 OLE DB provider which 
means we aren't using ODBC.  At least I'm pretty sure about that.  As part 
of configuring the linked server, you can specify a "Provider string".  I 
have some documentation that tells me how to fill it out with a list of 
libraries.  I specify "Catalog Library List=MYLIB1,MYLIB2;".

I'm still not totally sure how it sets the library list on the server when 
it makes the connection.  I don't know if it uses the library list from 
the job description specified on the user profile or if it just uses what 
I specified in the Catalog Library List.

Going back to the original error message, 

The OLE DB provider "SQL Server" for linked server "(null)" reported an 
error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "SQL Server" for linked server 
"(null)". (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

I'm a little surprised it has "null" when it references the linked server 
in the message.  Is that a clue?
