DB2 - Cannot Connect to Database

General Questions/Discussions
#1

Using DB-VA SQL 2.2, I am trying to set up a JDBC DB2 Net Driver (Type 4) connection for DB2. I have selected C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\SQLLIB\java\db2jcc.jar;C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\SQLLIB\java\db2jcc_license_cu.jar in the Driver file location, and correctly entered my connection URL.

Trying to test the connection, I get
java.lang.Exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver
v.qua.i(:542)

I have also tried using other drivers but still get the same error message.

Thanks
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I will notify our engineers about this problem. In the meantime, could you provide me with the full log? The full log file could be found under the bin directory of VP Suite installation directory.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
