Comments on: Sql Server Linked Server to iSeries http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/sql-server-linked-server-to-iseries/ Tue, 21 May 2013 07:47:26 +0000 hourly 1 By: technet http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/sql-server-linked-server-to-iseries/#comment-38330 technet Mon, 22 Nov 2004 03:21:38 +0000 #comment-38330 Excuse me for my late response.
Thanks a lot swede and beermaker !

swede:
I’m quite sure the way I request the data is ok.
It runs fine on the only PC with MSDE (2000 SP3) installed.
something like:
… from AS400.S1234567.LIBRARY.TABLE

beermaker:
The query is the same from every PC cause it’s run from my application (the same installed on every PC).

About the permissions:
The linked server is configured without specifying explicitly any SQL Server login but as
‘running under following protection context:’
(the 4th radio button in the linked svr properties protection tab)
followed by a correct USER/PASSWORD with secofr permissions on the iSeries.
i.e. with T-SQL:
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin , ‘false’ , NULL , ” , ”

The SQL Server authentication mode is ‘Windows’.
Any other query run on tables NOT LINKED but local inside the SQL Server (default instance) database are succesfully reading/writing from any PC.

Do you think I have to check/setup something else ?
(I use SQL Server Dev.Ed.)

You both have been very kind !
I hope you can tell me something more…this is my first experience with MSDE/SQL Server…
Thanks again.

Are you using the same software (i.e. Query anlayzer)? Is it the same login account?

Be sure permissions are setup correctly on the linked server.

the sql code should look something like this:
select column names from linked_servername.catalogname.ownername.filename.tablename
