Hi Pete,

That's right when you want to connect to IBMi from a LUW client you will need to have the DB2 connect license.

Thanks

Praveen,

It was my understanding that the driver, when used with IBM i, required
the use of DB2 Connect which is a for fee middleware from IBM. Is that
still the case?

Also, if anyone else on the list has an IBM i experience they want to
share, could you post back? I have been using Ruby/Rails on IBM i for
quite some time but I have to use JRuby in order to have the (free) JDBC
connection option.

Hi Aaron,

The ibm_db driver does have PASE sections in the code and few people have used the driver natively on IBMi. However this is not fully tested. We had this feature used with Ruby-1.8, not sure how it works on Ruby-1.9

Will forward this request to the IBMi team, here, and check what their priorities are and plans on this support

Thanks

Praveen

bump.

Is there any response from IBM as to whether PASE is, or will be, supported?

Thanks,

What is the status for the support of the PASE environment on i5/OS. I'd like to run Ruby in PASE and connect to DB2/400.

If it is supported now, is there documentation on how to install and configure the adapter?
