AS400 and Ignition

Hi all

I’ve just come across a new project involving an old and reliable system: the AS/400. It’s been around forever and contains libraries, which in turn contain files, data queues (DATAQs), and programs.

I’m wondering—can Ignition interact directly with the DATAQ objects on the AS/400?

I’ve successfully set up a database connection from Ignition to the AS/400. However, when I try to load tables using the Database Query Browser, I get a read timeout error.


Do any of you have experience with this or any ideas about what might be going wrong? I’m starting to think I may have misunderstood how the AS/400 works.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

BR,
