PI47722: RECORDING DB2 DATASOURCES IN WAS APPLICATION FAILS

Rational Performance Test Server Fix Pack 3 (8.7.0.3) for 8.7

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Create a DB2 universal datasource in Websphere. Create an
  application to use that datasource. A sample snippet would be:
  
  ...
  Context initContext = new InitialContext();
  DataSource ds = (DataSource)initContext.lookup("DB2DS");
  Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
  ...
  
  Enable the GH datasource on it and try to record it in RIT. It
  fails and the exception stack is like:
  Caused by: javax.resource.ResourceException: Required driverType
  property was not specifed or is invalid. The driverType property
  is null

  * ResourceException error.  The error was the result of the    *
  * driver type not being properly set.                          *
