TCR 2.x connection fail, reports do not run


Customer reported that suddenly TCR failed to work and they were getting the error:

ReportDesign (id = 1): - Cannot open the connection for the driver: org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc Cannot load JDBC Drive class:
com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver

when trying to run reports.

They double checked the drivers and they were in the correct  path:

TCR_home\tipv2Components\TCRComponent\lib\birt-runtime-2_2_2\ReportEngine\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_2.2.2.r22x_v20071206\drivers

The required JDBC files are as follows:
-For DB2, copy db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_licence_cu.jar
-For Oracle, copy ojdbc14.jar and ojdbc14_g.jar
-For Microsoft SQL, copy sqljdbc.jar

This made no change, so  next came a a review of all the files.

Which showed in the SystemOut.log the loading of the JDBC drivers error:

There was no further pointer in the log to show where there was a space issue, but after checking the system it showed that /tmp was full.

Once space was cleared in /tmp then the reports were able to be run again.

So always make sure there is some space in /tmp!
