Chapter 3: Connectivity with OS400 Resources

---

Overview

Now that WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 for Linux on iSeries is installed, configured, and running, we can implement scenarios in which the WebSphere applications connect with OS/400 resources such as DB2 for OS/400 or OS/400 applications.

This chapter provides two scenarios:

• Using a JDBC provider to access data on DB2 for OS/400. We use a banking application to illustrate this example. We show how to set up the JDBC provider and install the actual application.

• Using Java applications running on WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 for Linux on iSeries to communicate with an RPG program on the OS/400 side.
