• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Certain DB2 client components missing from the DB2 installation
  portion of the Tivoli Storage Manager installation can cause
  problems communicating with the DB2 instance on the Tivoli
  Storage Manager Server.  For example:
  
  Issuing the following within PowerShell:
  $factory = [System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactories]::GetFactory(
  IBM.Data.DB2 )
  
  will report the following:
  Exception calling "GetFactory with "1" argument(S): "Unable to
  find the
  requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be
  installed."
  
  
  Another example:
  
  C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\db2\BIN>db2lswtch -client -promote
  DB22010E  An error occurred when registering the IBM .NET data
  provider
  for the copy "DB2TSM1" in the global assembly cache.
  
  
  Versions Affected:
  Tivoli Storage Manager Server 7.1 on Windows
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics
  Installing the Tivoli Storage Manager Server includes the DB2
  Server installation package.  This package has historically
  included certain DB2 Client components that could be used to
  communicate with the DB2 instance on the Tivoli Storage Manager
  Server, but certain packages were not included in the 7.1
  installation package.
  
  
  Initial Impact:
  Low
