DSXchange

Hi,
In our project DB2 setup was done 1 week back and to test the setup I designed a simple job (with only 2 stages) Reading from DB2 table using DB2 connector and target is Peek.
This job is running successfully without any warnings and the data is logged in the director
but the problem is that when I try to Test or View the data in the DB2 connector stage I am getting below error messages,

"The connection failed"
"The DB2 Library could not be Loaded"

DS version is 8.7

Note: I tried to search for this issue in the forum, but all I found is one statement by Ray that "...we cannot rely on the View utility",
I am sorry if I did not search properly

Rely is one thing, work is another. It should work even if what it shows you may not be reliable.

Sounds like you may need to contact your official support provider about a patch / fixpack as that smells a little buggy to me.

Whenever you see "library could not be loaded" error messages check that the library's parent directory is included in the shared library search list (typically the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LIBPATH environment variable) and that the executing user has execute permission for that library. If you're running a 32-bit DataStage, make sure that you're finding the 32-bit DB2 library rather than, or at least ahead of, the 64-bit DB2 library.

I tried changing the order i.e., 64 after 32 but still I am getting the same error.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH have the following
"/usr/lib:/home/db2inst1/sqllib/lib:/app/ibm/db2/V10.1/lib32:/app/ibm/db2/V10.1/lib64:/opt/mqm/lib64"

fyi
"/opt..." is for the MQ

... I figured that would have to be all correct seeing as how the job actually runs fine, the only issue is with the View Data option. Switching those around may actually cause the job to no longer run.

HI Kumar,

did you got the same issue in the earlier version(8.5) also?

We are directly working on 8.7
