Problem in Processing AS400 Data using OLAP Cube (Microsoft SQL Server 2000)

  • I want to process OLAP Cube using Analysis Manager (Microsoft SQL Server 2000) where the Data source in AS400. To connect to AS400 I used Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit), but when I processed cube or even only a dimension, it is always running without progress... Last status is initiating transaction and never stop or error. But when I process the OLAP Cube for data in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 it's run successfully. Can anyone give a solution for this problem?

  • Hi

    Is it possible for you to try another ODBC driver? What you can also try is put a trace on the odbc driver and see what it out puts, you do this on your odbc settings.

  • OK, I'll try to use another ODBD driver. Thanks for your reply.

  • Client Access also has an OLEDB driver, you might try that one.  It has been a little while since I used it, but I remember one was faster, but one truncated query results greater than 12k.

    Also, MS has AS/400 drivers as part of its Host Integration Server that work much faster/better than IBM's.  (Remember, IBM really doesn't want you to extend to MS's platform, do they don't do a lot to optimize these drivers.  Microsoft has an interest in making your Windows project better, so they do better on the driver.)

  • Hi,

    there are also 3rd party drivers specific to the AS400 that do a better job and are easier to deploy than those big packages.

    You might take a look at http://www.hitsw.com, if you like.
