APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Customer reported being unable to set JDBC conection parameter
with connection debug parameters.  The overall connection URL
was about 400 characters.  The notes.ini parameter limitation is
256 characters which is where the connection URL is stored.

Need to look at using an _EXT parameter to allow longer values.

Local fix

  • NA

Problem summary

  • Added new optional notes.ini parameter to allow DB Connection
URLs longer than 256 characters:

  NTS_DBCONNECTIONURL_EXT

To use this parameter it must be set manually in the notes.ini
file and the standard NTS_DBCONNECTIONURL parameter must be
commented out or removed.  Once set you can then run the
travelerUtil db set command to set the credentials if desired or
run the travelerUtil db check command to check the connection.

For example:

NTS_DBCONNECTIONURL_EXT=customURL1, customURL2
customURL1=first_part_of_my_long_url
customURL2=second_part_of_my_long_url

The IBM Traveler server will then handle this as any _EXT
notes.ini parameter which is essentially to concatonate the
values specified on the _EXT parameter.

Problem conclusion

  • The IBM Traveler server has been updated to accept an _EXT
version of the NTS_DBCONNECTIONURL parameter in the notes.ini
file, though it must be set manually.

Temporary fix
