The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
We use PowerBI. The built-in Db2 support doesn't work (I assume it's designed for Db2 LUW). We just use the iACS data provider and configure a custom ODBC data source in PowerBI.

Subject: IBM i as datasource for MS PowerApps
Hi all,
I'm tasked to investigate whether it is possible to connect to our
(on-premises) IBM i and use that as datasource for an existing cloud app created with Microsoft PowerApps.
So far I have set up some testresources and installed the Microsoft on-premises data gateway.
(

In the PowerApp I defined an IBM DB2 connector, but I can't get it to work (as I expected since DB2 and DB2 for i are different flavours).
Another option seems to create a custom connector and let our IBM i act as REST service.
(

Anybody done something similar before and have an advice what would be a direction to explore?
Many thanks,
Arco Simonse
