The AS400 (in v6r1) is already an SQL server. Instead of DB2 connect, we are using IBM Data Studio 2.2 (Free of charge), to maintain the database and develop stored procedures. All by using SQL. For the SDK we purchase the i5_dotnet product.
We are developping with Visual Studio 2008, in visual basic.
No extra server is needed (unlike DB2 Connect), it is fast, and the third of the DB2 connect price.

It will more likely be the business rules locked in application code that will be the problem. It’s quite possible that there is no ‘migration’ that can be done beyond simple data.

It is very likely that everything will have to be re-engineered — including the database which might not map well to MS SQL.
