DB2 connection in IDT

Former Member

Hi All,

I'm on BI 4.1 SP03 and trying to create a connection to DB2 V7 using IDT. When i go to the database middleware driver section and did the following.

* Selected DB2 for i v7

* Entered username and password and Alias (database name)

1. What is the Alias in the above step?

2. Do i have to install or do any steps in the server to get the DB2 connection?

3. I'm getting the error message in the screenshot.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Regards,

DTD

HI,

I don't know much about DB2 but as per the IDT tutorial

Alias - For DB2 connections, this is the alias of the database that you have created in the DB2 configuration assistant.

Hi,

Solved by creating an ODBC connection in the Client tools machine. make sure to install DB2 drivers first.
