How do I add an IBM i (AS/400) asset from PCML or by browsing the backend?

Use IBM i (AS/400) connectors in OL Integration. PCML is preferred when the compiler produced it; COBOL/RPG linkage is the fallback.

Add asset

  • From PCML file — program path can be omitted only when the PCML already identifies the program; otherwise Hub asks for library/program.
  • Browse backend — Hub lists objects on IBM i via the connection. Select the library once. A FileNotFoundException: null or CRTBNDCBL failure usually means the connection user cannot see or compile that object, not a Hub bug.

Also distinct (do not mix these with add-RPC-asset)

  • Reverse API for AS/400 is a REVERSE Hub project plus an OLREVAPI client, not “add RPC asset.”
  • CDC poller (base path, insert vs delete) is IBM i Change Data Capture, not RPC add-asset.
  • Fetch PCML / “no supported parser” — the file is not PCML the connector accepts (wrong type, truncated, or not compiler PCML).

Secure (TLS) IBM i connections must match JT400/host certificate setup on the agent.
