I would have thought that if you have a DB2 client installed, you could connect through that.

You can also connect through ODBC.

Thanks,

thx, we have DB2 installed on our ETL server but not the reporting server. ODBC would work. I may have questions on getting that going.
thx again...

Be advised, I have been told that if IBI has an adapter such as a DB2 Adapter that use the ODBC Adapter is not supported. Does, not mean that it will not work, just not supported.
