IBM DB2 ON AS400

3.7k Views Asked by At

I want to configure IBM DB2 on iseries AS400. The issue is I'm not getting the proper tool for AS400 and I've already installed Data Studio for configure DB2. I don't have any knowledge regarding AS400 and I'm fresher for IBM technology. I have already ODBC drivers of iseries. Please help me to find out iseries AS400 setup tool.

DB2 is integrated into OS/400 and all of it's following OS's. To configure DB2 on these platforms, perform a power-on maneuver. If it is already turned on, then DB2 is configured.

BTW, you probably don't have an AS400 but something newer. The hardware is likely Power System or Pure System, and the OS is likely IBM i.

Once you get a SQL connection to the AS400 aka system i aka iseries. Configure the DB by executing this SQL statement in Studio.

create collection myas400SQL

This will create an as400 library named MYAS400SQL that has the mumbo jumbo journal automatically added meaning this will work like every other SQL database with commit rollback transactions...

Lets try it.

CREATE TABLE myas400sql.mytable (myfield char(1)) 

Table mytable can handle commits and rollbacks like any other db you may have used.

Happy Friday.
