APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Getting errors when using 'Test' or 'View Data' in ODBC Common
    Connector (note same problem with other CC as well) 'StageType
    object(s) could not be found for connection type ODBCConnector.'
    No problems with Runtime.
    Also cannot use Connector Import Wizard, as it produces a blank
    Connector selection list.
    

Local fix

  • Have to manually uninstall and reinstall all the common
    connectors. i.e
    
    Before uninstalling, copy the installation jar from
    <InformationServer>/Server/StagingArea/Installed/ODBCConnector/C
    C_ODBC_*_installation.jar to a safe location.
    
    To uninstall:
    1) Source dsenv  -- for Unix installations only
    2) Run dscompinst -username user -password pwd -remove
    ODBCConnector
    
    To reinstall:
    1) Source dsenv
    2) Run dscompinst -username user -password pwd -skipstagecheck
    -install -force <saved_jar_location>/CC_ODBC_*_installation.jar
    
    For other connectors re-install in the same way.
    The connector name to use in the uninstall and reinstall command
    are:
    
    
    DB2Connector
    OracleConnector
    TeradataConnector
    WebSphereMQConnector
    DTStage
    

Problem summary

  • There is an issue on IBM Information Server 8.5 with
    Common Connectors (CC) whereby you will not be able to
    
    1. Browse data using any CC.
    2. Use Test button to validate connection details for CC
    
    Both of the above would report errors of 'StageType object(s)
    could not be found for connection type XXXXConnector (for
    example ODBCConnector)
    
    3. Not able to import Metadata - due to getting a blank CC
    listing.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Connect IBM InfoSphere Information Server Support to get Repair
    tool patch_JR38573_client_windows_8500.zip to fix the issue.
