Subject: Commitment Control Was: Writing from ms SQL to IBM i database (Darryl Freinkel)

Matt,

Commitment control, rollback capability, etc all sound good but think of this scenario:

You run a large sql update which posts a transaction file into the item master file. As part of this update it updates the quantity on hand in the item master.

Item Quantity
X 100
becomes
X 200

Now let's say someone is running some inventory transaction and it updates the quantity also
X 205

Can you really notice "Aw shucks, I forgot the WHERE clause on my sql statement. I'll just do a ROLLBACK."? What happens to the quantity of X?
It's not like it changes it from 205 to 105.

I do agree that journalling is important. I argued for it for years. They put it off until we got Mimix. Now they've gone gonzo with journal receivers. Not that Mimix requires such retention. The developers just love the history and tracking so they make sure the retention is long enough to always span two month ends. (77 days or some such thing).

Commitment control is always a good thing. IMHO journaling should be
turned on for most production items. If not I know you're not doing
commitment control, and that is a bad thing. If you fire off a 10 step
process and step #9 fails, don't you want all your updates to data from
steps 1 through 8 to roll back in order to not leave your data in
shambles? I would think so.

I am using SQL 2012.

The solution was to use turn on journaling. It's an unnecessary overhead
for this purpose, but the only option. MS needs to be able to roll back it
appears.


However, I will try your options below.

Thank you.
Darryl.

1. What SQL server version do you use?
2. The following settings work fine for me on SQL Server 2008 R2 a.
Provider: IBM DB2 for i IBMDASQL OLE DB Provider b. Server options:
Collation Compatible False
Data Access True
RPC True
RPC Out True
Use Remote collation True
Collation Name
Connection Timeout 0
Query Timeout 0
Distributor False
Publisher False
Subscriber False
Lazy Schema Validation False
Enable Promotion of Distributed Tra False


I believe the important settings are RPC and RPC Out


The code looks like

insert into as400_prod.proddb.MMSLIBD.BOAK01P

select [trans_no],[trans_internal_no],[trans_creation_date],

[trans_creation_time],[trans_cnfrm_date],[trans_confirm_time],

[trans_code],[trans_error_code],[trans_mont_acc],[trans_acc],

[trans_bo_cust_no],[trans_bo_inv_no],

Case when len([trans_line_no]) < 3 then '0'+[trans_line_no] else
[trans_line_no] end,

[free_fld],

[trans_credit_flag],[trans_no_id_tagmul],[trans_src],[trans_start_mm],

[trans_end_mm],[trans_yyyy],[trans_discount_code],[trans_discount_amnt
],

[trans_base_dbt_amnt],Ltrim(Rtrim([trans_rem1])),Ltrim(Rtrim([trans_re
m2])),

' ', ' ',

[trans_monit_emp],

' ', ' ', ' '

from localdb1.dbo.Bo2monit a

where trans_cnfrm_date = '00000000'

I need to write some data from a Microsoft database to the IBM i

The problem I have is I have a linked server that I can read from

day.
However, I cannot write back to the linked server which is my IBM

[linked

name].[catalog name].[library name].[file name]

Has anyone experienced this issue and how did you work around the
issue?


TIA.
