Hi all, Not sure why `from com.ibm.as400.access import AS400, DataQueue` generated error `Traceback (most recent call last):` `File "", line 1, in ` `ImportError: No module named ibm` in 8.3. But 8.1 is fine. Even though everything is working fine as is. They both have jt400.jar installed correctly. Thanks for inputs ---

Initially, I installed jbdc with the jt400.jar on the 8.3 gateway. My whole script didn’t work. Then, I dropped jar file to $IGNITION/lib/core/gateway and $IGNITION/lib/core/common, script worked but still generated above mentioned error. With my 8.1, I installed the jar on its gateway. ---

Again - what does this mean? The only way this ever should have worked is if you put it into `lib/core/gateway`, on either version, and it should still work in either version AFAICT. Is your test script executing in gateway scope? i.e. _not_ the Designer script console? ---

Hi Kevin, I did restart the Gateway, and the existing event change script worked after the restart. In Ignition 8.1, I imported the JAR file using the “Create JDBC Driver” option, so I’m not sure where that JAR was actually stored. I just checked, and the JAR is currently located in `core/common`, not in `core/gateway`. For Ignition 8.3, I followed the same process. In addition, I manually copied the JAR file into both `core/common` and `core/gateway`. It’s an event change script; it is working fine. The test script I tried in designer script console. Have a look at pics below. Here is the 8.3 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/0/d0ef2735350d8c226b335210e4c25ab03609cdc2.png) Here is the 8.1 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/f/3fd4e91c9f59c436968c1d39ea0043c0c1d6d00a.png) ---

You or somebody else probably also copied the JAR file to the right place on the Ignition 8.1 Gateway... installing/creating a JDBC Driver does not move the JAR into `lib/core/common` or `lib/core/gateway`. ---

Yep. I suspect that. It was long time ago so my memory could be wrong
