As you are AIX you will also need the ODBC clients for AIX which are not provided by Rocket Software or Universe.
I use a product from fusionware www.fwic.net<http://www.fwic.net> called the legacy MV2SQL bridge thats provides fast read and write access to our SQL server or Oracle databases with minimal programming. I remember Robert Houben writing a blog on this subject at http://www.fwic.net/NewsInfo/FusionWareIntegrationBlogs/tabid/116/EntryId/6/Easy-access-to-SQL-data-from-MV-BASIC.aspx Neil ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Hester [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2010 4:10 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Retrieving data from remote SQL DB from Universe via ODBC? Check out the UniVerse ODBC Guide included in the documentation on the UV installation media. If you don't have it, you can get it here: http://www.rocketsoftware.com/u2/pubs/library/ It's pretty straightforward.

Fellow U2 users, The Universe documentation suggests that it is possible to retrieve data from a remote SQL DB on a Windows server from Universe using ODBC. We do the reverse here at present, but haven't done what I am attempting. Can anyone verify or shed some light on how to do this, please? We have Universe 10.3 running on AIX and have ODBC in use.
