QUESTION POSED ON: 15 August 2005
How can I connect WebSphere on my iSeries to a DB2 database on an AIX machine? We've tried a number of different methods configuring JDBC drivers, but nothing seems to work.

>
EXPERT RESPONSE
Hopefully you are running WebSphere Express v6 which was just released for the iSeries. It is much better than the earlier versions in many ways (function/reliability/connectivity). You can use the newer DB2 universal driver for DB2 on AIX if you are on version 8.x of DB2. The IBM JCC JDBC driver is a type 4 driver that allows a remote application running on the iSeries in WebSphere to access DB2 on AIX.
