Have you ever tried to connect to AS400. It’s been a hassle for me. But finally I got it to work, so let me share little of my wisdom with you.
First create linked server, then change options to it.
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N’AS400′, @srvproduct=N’i520′, @provider=N’IBMDA400′, @datasrc=N’AS400′, @provstr=N’User Id=USER;Password=PWD;Default Collection=DAT;’
Change option:
USE [master]
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N’IBMDA400′, N’AllowInProcess’, 1
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N’IBMDA400′, N’NonTransactedUpdates’, 1
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N’IBMDA400′, N’SqlServerLIKE’, 1
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N’ASUHRP12′, @optname=N’collation compatible’, @optvalue=N’true’
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N’ASUHRP12′, @optname=N’rpc’, @optvalue=N’true’
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N’ASUHRP12′, @optname=N’rpc out’, @optvalue=N’true’
GO
So, you should now have functional linked server. Only, in my case its very slow, so it could be in your case to.
Good Luck
