The Following Steps where performed:

1.STRHOSTSVR SERVER(*ALL)

3.Adding SYSIBM lib to the user global user library list
4. Stop/Start QUSRWRK
5. Using two connection string :

Info=True;User ID=XXXXX;Data Source=XXXXX

Provider=IBMDA400.DataSource.1;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=XXXX;Data
Source=XXXXX;Password=XXXX

Please Advice

It may not be an error -- the verification code doesn't know you want to
do OleDB so it tries to verify 'most everything you might try to use.
The trick is to read the adjacent messages and decide whether the
server task about which it is complaining is one that's important to you.

You can get much the same info from the PC cmd line by running cwbping
<hostname> /v.
