In this demo, I have considered the following to demonstrate DB2 connectivity using type 2 Universal JDBC type 2 driver with 32-bit and 64 application:
- Downloaded IBM 32-bit JDK for Windows from the web: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/
- Installed DB2 V9.7 FP5 64-bit Client on Windows 7
- DB2 V10.1 FP4 database server on Linux.
Used the following sample code:
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.*;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class t2test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try {
System.out.println("CONNECTING TO TEST");
Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver");
String url = "jdbc:db2:TEST:traceDirectory=C:\\temp;traceFile=jcctrc.log;traceFileAppend=false;traceLevel=-1;";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"db2admin,"xxxx");
con.close();
System.out.println("Completed");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.out.println("Exception: " + ex);
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
===

Failed with -4472 error. This is expected due to the below restriction documented in the following technote: /support/pages/node/399655
Type 2 connectivity requires a DB2 client (or server) installation and has a restriction in that the "bitness" of the java application must match with the DB2 client ( or server) instance.
So a 32bit java application using type 2 connectivity can only work with a 32bit DB2 client (or server) instance and a 64bit java application using type 2 connectivity can only work with a 64bit DB2 client (or server) instance for connectivity to a remote (or local) database. The bitnes of the remote database instance does not matter, only that of which is configured in the client application environment.
The JVM used for the application environment must load the correct library, depending on its bit type (32-bit or 64-bit). A 32-bit JVM can only load the 32-bit DB2 native libraries and a 64-bit JVM can only load the 64-bit DB2 native libraries.
Upon, switching to 64-bit JVM, application works fine, please see below test:

CONNECTING TO TEST
Completed =======================> successful
So, from the above tests, we understand that a 64-bit java application using type 2 connectivity can only work with a 64-bit DB2 client instance (similarly for 32-bit applications, 32-bit Client instance is needed) for connectivity to a remote database. The bitness of the remote database instance does not matter.
Hope this helps! Please post your questions/feedback.
Thanks for reading!
