Unable to Initialize DB2 Plugin

Post by endyl13 »

Dear all,

We're using DS 6 on AIX box. We're having problem everytime we try to use the DB2 Plugin (Importing Table Definition, View Data, etc), the message "Unable to initialize Plug-in" keeps coming up.

Anybody can help us? [:I]

Well, if it's anything like Oracle, you can't use the plugin "out of the box". It needs to be configured and that process is documented in the readme (I believe) and the plugin's .pdf documentation.

For Oracle on Unix, the "dsenv" file needs to know the $ORACLE_HOME and have its "bin" folder added to the Library Path. After that, once the server is bounced you would be good to go.

Perhaps there is something similar for DB2?
