AS400 Connectivity through JDBC Adapter

Hi there,
Iam a new member at wmUsersForum, I have a query. Please answer thsi asap.
Iam trying to connect to the AS400 DB from my local IS server.
The connection paratmers are right in place , with the Datasource class as :com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDataSource

Iam using JDBC 6.0.3 adapter.

Other Connection parameters are correct.

Whenever I try to enable the adapter it gives me the following error.
Error encountered
[ART.118.5042] Adapter Runtime (Connection): Unable to enable connection resource ME005_APS_JDBC:Conn1.[ART.118.5063] Adapter Runtime (Connection): Unable to start connection ME005_APS_JDBC:Conn1: after 1 attempt(s).[ADA.1.204] Cannot connect to the database with DataSource class “com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDataSource”.The application requester cannot establish the connection. (beeth011)

I fail to understand the error because same adapter connectivity works fine when connected from the Dev environment works fine.Please suggest the solution.

what did you set in “portNumber” and “Other Properties” fields? Also ensure that this is not a f/w issue?

Or a mistyped password?

We do not give the database name nor the port number nor the n/w protocol when we make a connection to AS400 , they are al blank.
Regarding the Other Properties I gave “translatebinary=true;extendeddynamic=true;naming=sql;prompt=false;libraries=JD$DD, JD$SEC”
This is a correct parameter.

Finally I solved the problem of connectivity through JDBC Adapter , the problem was with the Server Name . I had to mention the full path of Server Name. It worked.
