Please provide the error message that follows.

Also what version of DB2 are you on?

When using DB2 define the datetime variable as varchar 26

Then use the format 00:00:00.00000 for the time portion of the datetime string.

If you use char(10) for dates and varchar(26) for timestamps for both reading and writing to DB2 through the plug in it works well.

This works with versions up to 6. I haven't yet tested it in version 7.

Does the userid you are running the jobs with have any file system limits. I have see some installations where the default amount of disk space a user can use is limited to 1 GB. May be worth checking.

If the issue is time out, you can modify the rb_tmu code as follows: rsh 10.7.145.2 -l redbrick rb_tmu -i nrows %2 where you set nrows to the number of rows after which the loader will write an information message back to the client. Red Brick Manual says: "Directs the TMU to print a progress m...

Had a very similar problem before. What you need to do is see how the disk drives / LUN's are actually mapped to the RAID groups. You may be trying to separate IO and in reality be exasperating it.
