JR23276: FP12: RUNNING A WMI SAMPLE SCRIPT REGVAR.VBS PRODUCES AN ERROR.

DB2 UDB Version 8.1 FixPak 16 (also known as Version 8.2 FixPak 9 )

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• I have a customer who is trying to run a WMI sample script -
  regvar.vbs. Whenever he runs the script it produces the
  following error :
  
  Enumerate DB2INSTANCE and DB2INSTPROF for all local instances:
  C:\SQLLIB\samples\wmi\regvar.vbs(24, 1) (null): 0x80041010
  
  Which means that the specified class is not valid.  The customer
  found out that when replacing class-name IBMDB2_InstKey with
  IBMDB2_InstRegKey (on line 23,33,46) it runs fine without any
  errors.
  
  I tested this, running the script without any changes it
  produced the same error. When making the changes as the
  customer advised the script ran fine without any errors.
  
  Test:
  
  Ensure that the DB2 WMI Provider is registered by running the
  following commands:
  
  > mofcomp %DB2PATH%\bin\db2wmi.mof
  > regsvr32 %DB2PATH%\bin\db2wmi.dll
  
  regvar.mof must be compiled and loaded for regvar.vbs sample to
  run correctly, so run the following command:
  
  > mofcomp regvar.mof
  
  Use the following command to run the script without altering the
  script regvar.vbs.
  
  C:\SQLLIB\samples\wmi>cscript regvar.vbs
  
  Error should be produced.
  
  Use the same command to the run the script but replace
  IBMDB2_InstKey with IBMDB2_InstRegKey (on line 23,33,46) in the
  regvar.vbs script.
  
  C:\SQLLIB\samples\wmi>cscript regvar.vbs
  
  Script should run fine, producing no errors.
  

Local fix

• Replace class-name IBMDB2_InstKey with IBMDB2_InstRegKey
