DBCON to SQL server - What is required

[Former Member]

I have already looked at a few notes that state that you need to have a Windows Application server to do a

DBCON connect to SQL Server

As per these links;

Note 738371 - Creating DBCON multiconnect entries for SQL Server

http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/0/5a3856efecb7f19f8625672b006cee76?OpenDocument

Is there something I can install on the Iseries that from ABAP you can write directly to a table on a remote

SQL server database?

Nope, there's nothing you can install.

To connect to a MS SQL Server via DBCON you need to have an application server running on Windows.
