We may need to access some MAPICS databases that are hosted on an AS/400. I assume MAPICS uses DB/400 as the database. Has anyone had any luck connecting to such as database? Any thoughts on the sourceof a JDBC driver? Thanks!
Hi ctmorrison,
I am not sure if MAPICS fully supports Web Services, or to what level, but I have found the following PDF in Google:

However, in when dealing with enterprise solutions it is really not good to touch the underlaying database layer, you have to go through the application it self either via APIs or Web Services.
In Servoy you have two ways to use web services consume web service on the target system (Use SOAP Plugin: http://downloads.servoy.com/thirdparty/Kydome_WebServices.zip) or the other system consumes a web service in Servoy. please refer to the following post it may help you:
Hope this helps you
