BW External DB connect to an IBM i (AS400) system

Hello,

I am trying to connect my BW system to external database on IBMi system (AS400). Here are the detail information

My SAP BW System

OS/DB- Windows2012/SQL2012

SAP: NW7.4

Kernel-7.41 64Bit Unicode

DBSL-  Downloaded for  AS/400(DB2/400) 

After extracting this sar file got all these files

External Source to which I am trying to connect - IBMi -AS400 (Version R611)

DBCO configuration on SAP BW system -

Database connection - BWAS400DEV

DBMS                            - DB4

Username                   - SAPUSR

*Password                    ***********

Connection Information - AS4_HOST=DVTEST;AS4_DB_LIBRARY=SAPUSR

Both the DBMS name and AS_DB_LIBRARY are same and in uppercase.

Following Profile Parameters is also set

dbs/db4/xdn_trace_file=XDNTrace

dbs/db4/connect_type= T

dbs/db4/xdn_port= 9601  ( this is my SAP BW messageserver number as per note-1875310 - IBM i: Incorrect XDN default port)

dbs/db4/driver_type=XDN

SAPHOST Agent is installed in SAP system but not on IBMi system. We are planing to install the SAPHOSTAgent on the IBMi system also.

Testing the connection via SE38-ADBC_TEST_CONNECTION - Select the -Database connection - BWAS400DEV and test the connection( I did testing from two system one has SAN NW gateway installed, but same error)

ERROR

Testing a Database Connection Defined in DBCON

Could not open connection BWAS400DEV

DBI error    16  occured.

See trace file for further info:    dev_w   3

Our Network Team did monitor the network traffic and confirmed nothing from going out from my SAP system to the AS400 system.

Any help/suggest is highly appreciated.
