Connection to IBM Db2 Big SQL throws exception XQE-JDB-0007 A database access error occurred when retrieving the database metadata

Troubleshooting


Problem

A connection to IBM Db2 Big SQL is defined that uses the IBM Db2 connection editor instead of the IBM Db2 Big SQL connection editor.

When a connection is attempted, Cognos Analytics fails to configure internal objects correctly resulting in exceptions being thrown:
 
  • XQE-JDB-0007 A database access error occurred when retrieving the database metadata

  • java.util.NoSuchElementException: Key 'limits.maxStatements' does not map to an existing object

Symptom

Attempt to test the connection with fail.
