Relational Database Entry Parameters for IASP

Troubleshooting


Problem

A IASP can show as available and still not be available for use by applications using ODBC, JDBC, etc.

Diagnosing The Problem

The IBM i system will create a relational database directory entry when a IASP is created with the relational database name the same as the IASP name.
Displaying the detail on a IASP RDB entry will show the following before the IASP is varied on:


Note the Relational database type parameter shows *REMOTE.

When a IASP is varied on, the Relational database type will change to *LOCAL as shown below:


Notice the ASP group, ASP group status, and ASP group number parameters are also added when the IASP is varied on.

If a error occurs when the IASP is varied on, it is possible for the database part to not be active even though the IASP shows available.
The Relational database type may not change from *REMOTE to *LOCAL.
If this occurs, check the joblog from when the IASP was varied on and see if any error messages were logged.
