Re: Conexion between Python and IBM i

Okay, Eduardo Marcó, here's the answer:

1. If you connect remotely using ibm_db_dbi you must:
1. Have a Db2Connect license (expensive)
2. Connect on port 446 the DRDA port
2. If you connect from onboard your IBM i, you don't need the Db2Connect
license, and your connection looks like
import ibm_db_dbi
dsn="DATABASE=*whatever*;UID=*youruid*;PWD=*yourpassword*"
conn = ibm_db_dbi.connect(dsn, '', '')
3. For remote connectivity without license fee, use ODBC.

I can connect via PORT=446 but get:

SQLCODE=-1598

ODBC works. Can you use ODBC instead?
