Uanble to connect to AS400

Question

When I am trying to connect to AS400 using C#.NET, it's giving me error:

IBMDA400 is not registered on local Machine

Can anyone please explain me about this?

Answer 1

For the provider you're using, IBM's Client Access needs to be installed. The OleDbProvider for IBM is included inthe Client Access package.

A better solution would be to use the IBM for .Net provider.

If you have Client Access installed on the machine, you can get at the .Net provider by going into selective setup and choosing the .Net provider in the developer tools.
