  ****************************************************************
  An IBM Informix Product was purchased by HCL and
  rebranded to "OneDB Server". Because of the changed product
  name, the database type is not assigned correctly in WebSphere
  Application Server. The result is many messages similar to the
  following appear in the SystemOut.log file:
  [9/4/20 18:20:45:959 EDT] 00000129
  ConnectionWra E Could not determine database type: Not a
  recognized database type => OneDB Server
  The database type assignment defaults to DB2, and though this
  appears to work properly, it depends entirely on how closely
  OneDB Server matches with DB2.  Possible problems might occur
  in cases where OneDB Server does not align with DB2.
  

Problem conclusion

• The application server code has been updated to include OneDB
  Server as a valid database type.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix packs
  8.5.5.20 and 9.0.5.8. For more information, see 'Recommended
