Issue connecting Power BI Desktop to IBM DB2 database
Helper IIHey Anonymous and everybody else in this thread.
For me, it works for nearly a year. I'm using the MS-Driver. Important is, that i have to use Port 446, for whatever reason. The other thing is, that PBI Desktop is having a hard time, since the December '18-Update, to refresh Tables from IBM DB2 Databases. The refresh takes, like, forever. Right now, I'm running a refresh for 6 (!) hours. I already opened a Support-Ticket and will keep you up to date in this Thread.

I know this thread is a year old, but I'm experiencing the same issue. Did anyone have any luck fixing this issue? I've uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, jumped on one leg...nothing works.
Anyone?

I updated to the latest version of Power BI desktop (version from 4/23/2020) and can no longer connect to my iSeries data. Dead in the water here, since working on dashboards is my entire work at home life right now. Also, the Edit Queries option is GONE from this version, so am forced to create new data sources versus editing an SQL statement in the original queries to speed up refresh.
Super frustrating! First the new gateway version is throwing bogus errors, now this? What happened to Microsoft testing before rolling out updates?!!!
