1 Send CSV files and receive CSV files from iSeries
- Minimal cost
- Cumbersome
- Lot of hand-written code, hence difficult to maintain
- Takes time to implement

- Has a trial offer
- iSeries native method of accessing data - record-level access
3 LookSoftware's soarchitect Product

4 IBM's iSeries Access for Windows
- Doesn't support .NET 2.0 as yet.
5 Jacada HostFuse
- J2EE/JCA solution only.
