** Troubleshooting ** "SQLCODE=-204, SQLSTATE=-42704" error when using DbConv to create new database

Troubleshooting


Problem

Administrator creates brand new (blank) DB2 database. Administrator logs onto the Controller application server, launches 'Controller Configuration' and creates a new database connection to the database. Administrator clicks 'connect' and then clicks 'Create DB'. An error appears.

Symptom

Depending on the environment the error may appear slightly differently, but it will be similar to:

    ** ERROR: com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.io: DB2 SQL Error:
    SQLCODE=-204, SQLSTATE=-42704, SQLERRMC=CONTRO, DRIVER=3.57.82
    ** ERROR: Invalid datbase, XFRANGO is empty
