Error when trying to connect to IBM DB2

[duongthuan]

I'm getting an error when trying to connect to our IBM DB2 database.  I removed the IP in the error below.  Anyone have any ideas? I don't see anywhere to enter a port number if we need to.

Details: "IBM DB2: ERROR [08001] [IBM] SQL30081N A communication error has been detected. Communication protocol being used: "TCP/IP". Communication API being used: "SOCKETS". Location where the error was detected: "IP removed". Communication function detecting the error: "connect". Protocol specific error code(s): "10061", "*", "*". SQLSTATE=08001"

@duongthuan，

Are you able to connect to the IBM DB2 database from IBM DB2 client? Please make sure that the client is installed in the same machine with Power BI Desktop.

Moreover, based on my research, the above error could occur when DB2 server's firewall preventing communication from remote (application server) device, please follow the guide in the blog below to troubleshoot this problem.
