FACT(s) (Environment):
Report Builder 8.2C
FACT(s) (Environment):
Report Builder 8.2B75
FIX:
Since Report Builder 8.2C or 8.2b75 is still 16 bit, in order to connect to an AS/400, using an 8.2 schema holder which is 32-bit, you need to start a server for the schema holder.
For example, if you have a schema holder called prosport
you could:
1. start a server for the schema holder, perhaps using ProControl.
In ProControl:
Detail -> Database tab -> Insert
Identifiers = AS/400
Executable Name=__mprosrv.exe
Physical DB-Name = prosport
Startup Parameters = -N tcp -H (hostname) -S (sevicename)
Start the database
2. Connect to the schema holder in Report Builder, using the
connection parameters you specified in ProControl and then
3. Connect to the AS/400 Database as you would normally do.
