Refresh meta data in iSeries linked server

Hello, I have a linked server to an iSeries server. I created a new view in the db2 database. When I try execute a new linked server query, it reports invalid object name. I have tried all of the 'refresh' options on the linked server. How do I get SQL to recognize the newly created view? Thank you

Does the credentials used within the linked server have the appropriate permissions to the new view?

Yes, it is the super user.

I also know I have the proper format, since I can query another view fine. I am then plugging in the new view name.

And... one last time (further), curiously I just executed the select statement (with the red line indicating 'Invalid object name', and the query executed. Strange. I'll mark this answered.

Further, the OPENQUERY syntax works, but just not the direct select.

And... (further), I need the regular syntax because I intend to use the view in a merge statement, which I do not believe will work in the OPENQUERY format. I am able to query views owned by the exact same user, which is the user in the linked server security context. I also just dropped and recreated the linked server, thinking for sure that would force a refresh, with no luck.
