The pureScale client affinity feature allows client specification of a single primary server and failover sequence to alternate servers and all rerouting is controlled by the client driver. That means all you have to do is basically configuring the right DB2 JCC JDBC properties in your WAS(Web Application Server) side. However the reality is many people has difficulty about how to have right setting about pureScale client affinity during configuration and failover test. For having right configuration for them, some people take over 2 weeks or 4... [More]

There are several ways to enable JDBC tracing(jcc trace) but the easiest way is tracing by using DB2JccConfiguration.properties file because you don't need any application change. I am posting actual example with sample java program compile and execution to show actual steps. If you cannot get trace files from your java program (e.g. WAS) even after restart, you can test these steps to see if your tracing configuration is working or not.   This article is composed of the following 6 steps....

In case of collecting DB2 JCC trace on client side,  we can find the detail from the following link for standalone java and IBM WebSphere. Collecting Data: Tracing with the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ Then, how can we do the same thing on other WAS products. All WAS(Web application server) products are basically java processes. Therefore no matter what product you are using, enabling DB2 JCC trace is not other than the following 3 steps from Java perspective. 1.... [More]

As of now, many of our customers are using IBM DB2 JDBC Driver(db2jcc.jar/db2jcc4.jar) to connect to DB2 server and configured SSL & normal database connectivity with end products such as WAS, OPM, Cloud and DataStudio etc. There are also a lot of you who are continuing to use SSL connection of JDBC for accessing your database server. Some of the tips in this blog will help to simplify the SSL connectivity with DB2 server. SSL Simplification: Many of you who prefer to configure the CA certificate instead of self signed certificate. If DB2... [More]

Is enableSysplexWLB (Sysplex Workload balancing JDBC driver property) a data source property or a driver wide (global) property?   Answer) enableSysplexWLB is not a driver-wide or a global property, so you cannot set it in the JCC properties file. These are properties starting with "db2.jcc.*" and "db2.jcc.override.*". The "db2.jcc." properties provide a driver wide default value.  It is a Data source or connection level property, so it can only be enabled programmatically inside the application via a... [More]

The current JDBC driver shipped with DB2 called the IBM CLIENT DRIVER FOR JDBC AND SQLJ can function as both a JDBC Type 4 and JDBC type 2 driver. Type 4 Mode When functioning as a JDBC type 4 driver, the driver is independent of the DB2 Client and only the driver jar db2jcc.jar or db2jcc4.jar need be installed.  In this mode all TCP/IP command execution and routing is done through Java.  In type 4 mode the driver requires the TCP/IP name and port of the server and uses the name of the database alias at the server.  If a Z/OS DB2...

From DB2 V9.7 Batched INSERT statements can return automatically generated keys. If batch execution of a PreparedStatement object returns automatically generated keys, you can call the DB2PreparedStatement.getDBGeneratedKeys method to retrieve an array of ResultSet objects that contains the automatically generated keys. Recently I had a customer trying to use getDBGeneratedKeys method with Batch inserts in a JDBC application using JCC driver and was looking for an example. Here is an example of how to use the getDBGeneratedKeys method in a... [More]

When you download IBM Data server driver for JDBC and SQLJ, the tar or zip file (For Example, DB2 V10.1 FP3 driver download is v10.5fp3_jdbc_sqlj.tar.gz file)  contains following files: db2jcc4.jar   db2jcc.jar   sqlj4.zip sqlj.zip Wondering which file to use in your application? Let me explain what those files are and you can decide on which file to use for your application. db2jcc4.jar and db2jcc.jar, both of them are DB2 JDBC driver jar files and are Type 4 JDBC drivers. db2jcc.jar includes functions in the JDBC 3.0 and...

For the IBM® Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ version 4.0 and later, the default behavior of ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName and ResultSetMetaData.getColumnLabel differs from the default behavior for earlier JDBC drivers. You can use the useJDBC4ColumnNameAndLabelSemantics property to change this behavior. The following examples show the values that are returned for IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ Version 4.0, and for previous JDBC drivers, when the useJDBC4ColumnNameAndLabelSemantics property is not set. The SELECT query contains... [More]

DB2 LUW provides the db2pd tool with two fmp options that when used in conjunction with each other can provide information which will identify the routine that was running in a particular db2fmp. The following technote documents a method to determine which db2fmp a routine ran in using the db2pd tool. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21606838 If a db2fmp entry is logged in the db2diag.log, the entry should contain the process ID (PID) and thread ID (TID). Below is a sample of a db2diag.log entry which identifies the... [More]
