AS400/iSeries ODBC connectivity through Framework Manager

[redstang]

New Cognos 8 customer here, and am having a problem connecting to the iSeries to pull in my source file definitions.  When I click on the data source in the Metadata Wizard, it just stalls there and never returns with a list of tables to pick from. 

Any suggestions on anything special I need to do to configure the ODBC driver, or is it just not supported?

Hi,

The iSeries odbc-driver is supported. You can check http://support.cognos.com/en/support/products/environments.html for the correct versions.

But also make sure that you install the latest servicepack for the driver (by not having done that I, for instance, had not been able to create relationships in Framework Manager!!!).
Check: http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/access/casp.html. Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Albert.
