I´m using the iSeries Access ODBC Driver to connect to AS/400, and it works from .NET using this connection string:

"DataSource=10.254.xxx.xxx;DataBase=S1018689;UserId=yyy;Password=zzz";

I want to create a linked server with this parameters but I don’t quite know where to put mi conecction string parameters in the wizard.

Could any one help me

I also have created and test an UDl file to connect to AS/400. After creating an testing the connection the result of the connection string is:

Provider=IBMDA400.DataSource.1;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=SQLODBC1;Data Source=10.254.xxx.yyy

I need to create a Linked Server from SQL SERVER 2005 to AS/400 (the above connection)

Can anyone help me?

I have struggled with this in the past and have created a step by step document (attached) showing how you can create a linked server to the iSeries (or AS/400).

Note that you must already have iSeries Access installed on your SQL Server box.

Good luck!

I know this article is a bit old, but it should be updated. I had the exact same problem. Journaling needs to be turned on for the table you are trying to update, or insert on the AS400.
