Re: Getting a pulse for Ruby On Rails on i

Hi Pete,

Just an FYI, it looks like the PASE ibm_db connector/driver/adapter now
works in PASE but isn't adequately tested on the latest 1.9 version.

I have been in touch with Andrea and he has given me an initial response.

The DB Connector gem works but you need to purchase the DB2 Connector
middleware to talk to DB2 on i (that's why I lean to the JDBC side of
things by using JRuby in PASE). Andrea Ribuoli (andrea.ribuoli@xxxxxx)
actually has a rudimentary DB2/SQL interface working which is fairly
cool. You may want to ping him because he does have IBM i customers and
I think most of his development work is oriented to them. I think he is
using Sinatra instead of a framework like Rails.

I have talked to one site that actually did use Ruby/Rails in production
on i but I don't know the current status and I am not in a position to
disclose who they are.

Hi all,

I am curious if anybody is running Ruby On Rails on IBMi for any purpose

-

in particular I am curious if anybody has used it in real-world
applications and not just academic.

I know Pete Helgren has done so in the past. Here is a thread from 2009

on

that topic: http://archive.midrange.com/web400/200912/msg00132.html And
here is the site Pete started: http://railsoni.com

There is also this site: http://www.midrange-ruby.com

Here is a database connector though I haven't been able to tell if it

would

work with RoR in PASE: http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyibm/
