Hello,
I am new using Appian, I would like to connect Appian with an existing AS/400 platform (DB2 Database). Is it possible to make that happen? If so, could anyone please help me providing some guidelines on how to do it?

Carlos Santander -We need to carefully qualify DB2 compatibility.
Appian has native support for the DB2 database product that is installed and run on either Linux, Unix, or Windows.
Versions of DB2 that run on other operating systems, like AS/400 or z/OS, are actually a different product. (Don't get mad at me - Talk to IBM!!!) These versions are not supported for use as Appian data sources.
Web Services (Appian Integrations) are recommend to connect to databases that aren't supported by Appian.
Juan Carlos Perez Salcedo -In the event that you are successful in establishing a data source connection with a non-supported database, design capabilities associated with those data sources will be compromised, i.e. you're going to experience unexpected behavior that Appian support cannot fix for you.
