As400 connection problem

hi,
i have a problem with my AS400 connection, it is not possible to be connected with talend.
I use jt400 in other app (/ex ireport) and it's work fine but i get an SQL error with Talend.
it's SQL901 error, this mean that connection is done but not a correct "communication"
i don't know where i can found log for this error in my AS400.
i don't understand why it's working with ireport and not with talend.
i need help
thanks

Which version of Talend are you using? There have been a lot of work on AS400 related issues between V2.1.4 and V2.2.1. I currently have had no problems with AS400 connections, except for tCreateTable component. The tCreateTable issue should be corrected in the next release. I would only use V2.2.1 for AS400 connections.
You didn't mention if the problem was with Metadata or a specific component. If you are having problems with the tAS400Output component, you might want to change the 'use commitment control' check box. If your file isn't set to use commitment control on the AS400 (journaled files) the box should not be checked. If they are under commitment control, check that box. I think the defaults were changed in Talend V2.2.1 to not use commitment control by default.
Hope that helps, and if it doesn't, leave a bit more detail about what component you are using and when the error occurs.

hi, thanks to reply jerry
ver 2.2.1
On my PC or any other metadata connection or tdbinput connection or dbjdbcinput give me the same bad result.
jdbc connection work very well with other app : ireport, kettle, jasperserver...
does i need a special setup with my as400 to work with talend ?

1) Are you using a Perl or Java Project. The Java project have AS400 specific connectors, tAS400Input and tAS400Output. And the Metadata create connection wizard will create AS400 specific connections.
I don't think Perl projects are really set up to handle AS400. If you are able to get to an AS400 in a Perl project, I think you end up going through the JDBC 0683p000009MA5A.pngDBC bridge; something that APITA as far as I'm concerned. Java Projects will give you direct connections through the JT400 JDBC driver which probably is what's working fine for you with other products.
I didn't need any special setup. I would guess that all the applications you have made AS400 jdbc connections use the JT400 driver, just like Java project do in Talend.
If you really, really want to work in a Perl project, I'd start by creating an OBDC connection to the AS400. Once you get that working, then I'd try setting up a generic OBDC connection in Metadata. I wouldn't recommend it though...

May you post your full error message ?

There is a log, but I think that the simples solution is to try to connect directly a tAS400Input component.
I'm interested by your results.
