Error description

• The djxlinkSybase script reports that the libdb2ctlib library
  was linked successfully even if it was not.  To re-create the
  error:
  (1) Set environment variable SYBASE to a dummy directory that
  does not contain the needed Sybase client libraries.  (In order
  to fool the script into thinking that the dummy directory is a
  valid Sybase client directory, it must contain directory
  $SYBASE_OCS/lib.)
  (2) Go to the bin subdirectory of the DB2 install directory and
  run ./djxlinkSybase.  You will see results similar to the
  following.  Note that the script reports the library was built
  successfully even though it was not.
  $ ./djxlinkSybase
  SYBASE = /home2/user/sybase_dummy
  SYBASE_OCS = OCS-12_5
  nm: /home2/user/sybase_dummy/OCS-12_5/lib/libcs_r64.a: 0654-200
  Cannot open the specified file.
  nm: No such file or directory
  nm: /home2/user/sybase_dummy/OCS-12_5/lib/libct_r64.a: 0654-200
  Cannot open the specified file.
  nm: No such file or directory
  nm: /home2/user/sybase_dummy/OCS-12_5/lib/libxadtm64.a:
  0654-200 Cannot open the specified file.
  nm: No such file or directory
  Linking library "libdb2ctlibF.a" with version "12.5" of

Local fix

• The problem can be fixed as follows:
  
  (1) Edit file djxlinkSybase (in the bin subdirectory of the DB2
  install directory) and locate the following line, which is
  usually the second or third line from the end of the script:
  
  check_build_results $? $my_target_library
  
  (2) Change the line to:
  
  check_build_results $rc $my_target_library
  
  Once you fix the above problem, you will still need to fix the
  problem that caused the link to fail.  One common cause of that
  problem is not installing the Sybase XA Interface Library.  To
  do that, when you install the Sybase client, you must specify
  the Full or Custom option. If you specify the custom option,
  select the XA Interface Library for ASE Distributed Transaction
  Manager option.  For more details, see

  fix should be applied on the federation server.
