Error description

  • When both DB2 v8 and DB2 v9 are installed, the v9 Configuration
Assistant uses the v8 Registry Key for ibmdadb2.dll. This means
that both the OLE DB and the ADO Connection Tests fail.

The v9 Configuration Assistant reads
 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\IBMDADB2\CLSID
which is the v8 key. It should be reading
 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\IBMDADB2.DB2COPY1
instead. (DB2COPY1 being the v9 installation)

Please note that this problem does not affect OLEDB
applications, and this is specific to Windows

Local fix

  • Local Fix: None
Work Around: None

Problem summary

  • Problem Description: Configuration Assistant fails the OLE DB
and ADO connection tests when both DB2 v8 and DB2 v9 are
installed on the same Windows machine.

Users Affected: Only affects the Configuration Assistant in
Windows when both DB2 v8 and DB2 v9 are installed.

Problem Summary: Configuration Assistant unable to successfully
test OLE DB and ADO Connections, but customer applications do
not have any problems

Problem conclusion

  • First fixed in DB2 v9.1 FP8

Temporary fix
