Installation of the JT400 JDBC driver in ColdFusion 9 to access an AS/400
A 64-bit installation of ColdFusion 9 does not support 64-bit ODBC drivers (source).
Installing the 64-bit iSeries Client Access to get the ODBC drivers is therefore useless.
To work around this you can revert to using 32-bit ColdFusion 9 and iSeries Access Client or you can install a JDBC driver for AS/400 in ColdFusion 9 by doing the following:
- Download the latest JT400 driver from JTOpen.
- Extract jt400.jar from the zip file to \JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\lib\ (for multiserver or J2EE configuration) or %cf_root%/lib (for server configuration only) on the server.
- Restart all ColdFusion 9 services or just the Macromedia JRun CFusion Server service for the multiserver or J2EE configuration.
- Open a browser, browse to http://servername/IDE/administrator and log in.
- Go to Data & Services → Data Sources.
- Below Add New Data Source:
- Enter a name for Data Source Name.
- Select other as the driver.
- Click on Add.
- Enter a JDBC URL like
jdbc:as400://server_name/database_name;prompt=false;
- Enter the following for Driver Class:
com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver
- Enter JT400 as Driver Name.
- Enter a username and password for the connection.
- Click on Submit
