    richie and Olga_T and All,

     

    Just today I got a solution with support of our IT-Support department. :smileyhappy:

    The solution is to use jt400.jar. This file is provided to me by the IT-Support department. Copy the file to in bin/ext folder. Enter the following in SoapUI Pro JDBC test step:

    Driver: com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver

    Connection String: jdbc:as400://<host_name>/<default-schema>;<properties> 

    All works great!
