That was deviation towards the world of BI. I was helping my co-worker to build a SSIS Package to import the data from AS400 into SQL Server.
At first I selected OLE DB Source component for getting the data but started getting odd errors of driver compatibilty. Then I read that there is a newish driver called DB2OLEDB which unfortunately works only on Enterprise/Developer Editions ,so I had only Standtard…
After some investigations I solved the problem by choosing DataReader Source control and selected ODBC driver for Net.Providers. It looks obvious for experienced BI consultants but for me, who rarely use SSIS, I felt great when co-worker was so happy to get all the data:-))
