    Hi Urid1969,

    Firstly, please check the IBM AS400 server status and port status as per the below steps.

      a. Verify that if the IBM server is up and running following the troubleshoot steps in this article.
      b. Check the port status by using “netstat” in your IBM server and verify the port is in state Listen.

    Secondly, choose each driver in the following screenshot when connecting to IBM database and check if it is successful. When you choose IBM, please ensure that you have IBM DB2 Data Server Driver installed on your computer (minimum requirement is the IBM Data Server Driver Package (DS Driver)). Select the driver that matches your Power BI Desktop installation (32-bit or 64-bit).


    Thirdly, check if you are able to connect to IBM AS400 database from other application such as Excel.

    Thanks,
    Lydia Zhang

I've seen this error when no DB2 connect license file exists in your installpath. Or when there is a version missmatch between your license file and db2 client.
