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
This fix will be included in IBM Traveler 9.0.1.9 and all later releases. See this technote for the latest release information. http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24019529
