I tried using the ODBC driver but it says error communicating due to protocol issue on "TCPIP". Upon further checking, I realize that for AS400 I Series, it requires a license to communicate with ODBC driver. However, it's too expensive and thus I'm trying to find a way to do it with JDBC
May I know has anyone done it?
ODBC, OLEDB, and .NET drivers are licensed as part of the base OS. There's no additional fee. Whomever owns the system you are connecting to should be able to get them to you.
JDBC drivers are available as part of the open source Jtopen toolkit
