Configuring a remote repository database for OS/400 and i5/OS

When you use a remote InterChange Server express repository database on OS/400 or i5/OS, you must change certain settings for tools that access the database. These changes include:

Relationship Designer Express must know the URL location of the database being used. To specify that, do the following:

  1. Open Relationship Designer Express.
  2. Select and right-click a relationship, or create a new relationship.
  3. Click Advanced Settings.
  4. Revise the DBMS string in the URL setting, as indicated in the following:
  5. In the Type field for DBMS Settings, select IBM Toolbox for iSeries.

Finally, you must set the database driver for Database Connection Pools. To do this, when creating or revising a database driver for a connection pool residing on a remote database on iSeries, choose IBM Toolbox for iSeries (Type 4) from the "Database driver" drop-down menu in the Create new database connection dialog.
