Strategy for using iSeries to connect to AS400/DB2 using both data que

[Moorstream]

Hi,

I am writing a communication program for sending/reading data to/from AS400 data queues and database.

When I am reading from AS400 I retrieve a reference ID from a Keyed Data Queue. This is done using the cwbx.dll that is available through the iSeries Access for Windows installation. This reference ID I will use to retrieve information from a DB2 database. I am planning to use a Managed Provider (via IBM.Data.DB2.dll) installed via iSeries Access for Windows.

The Keyed Data Queue and the database resides in the same library on an AS400.

Is this a good strategy? Using to different ways to retrieve data from AS400? Any proposals?

Best,
J
