DB2 - Problem description

Problem IT04609 Status: Closed

TO DOCUMENT ALL THE JCC APAR AND DEFECTS SHIPPED WITHDB2V10.5FP4 RELEASE

product:
DB2 DATA SRVR D / DB2DSDRVR / A50 - DB2
Problem description:
Type-4 connectivity: SQLException with ERRORCODE=-4228 
maybe received by an application when using a connection 
with enableSysplexWLB=true and executing a 
preparedStatement containing parameters of the type BLOB, 
CLOB, LONGVARCHAR, LONGVARBINARY, BINARY, VARGRAPHIC or 
LONGVARGRAPHIC. 
(RTC 39666) 
 
 
Type-4 connectivity: The Connection's isValid(int timeout) 
API may throw NPE when client reroute is enabled. Also, 
the isValid (int timeout) API may not honor the specified 
timeout in certain scenarios. 
(RTC 35828) 
 
 
Type-4 connectivity: When an XADataSource with 
enableSysplexWLB property configured as true is used, a 
gradual growth in total transport object count occurs. 
Over time, the total transport object count may reach the 
maximum allowed causing all subsequent operations to fail 
with the SQLException Timeout getting a transport object from 
pool. ERRORCODE=-4210, SQLSTATE=57033. (RTC 35561) 
 
 
Type-4 Connectivity: The JCC Driver will not hold 
transport until the end of new unit of work. A possible 
symptom is occurrence of SQLException with SQLCODE=-811 
which goes away on turning off transport pooling. 
(RTC 45936) 
 
 
Type-4 connectivity: The getCatalog() API always returns 
CURRENT SERVER value by default which is incorrect. A new 
global property "retCatalogAsServer" added to control the 
RETCAT option for getCatalog() API used when invoking the 
SYSIBM.SQLTABLES stored procedure. ( RTC 44231) 
 
 
Type-4 connectivity: Serviceability feature to auto dump 
information related to selected SQLCODES such as -1224, 
-204, -30108, -4499, -20542, -4210 in a data-sharing 
environment. The auto dump information includes general 
information like last DRDA exchanged, stack trace of the 
exception, error code/SQLCA, DataSource properties along 
with any other information relevant to the specific 
SQLCODE. (RTC 39840) 
 
 
Type-4 connectivity: -bindoptions flag is used only for 
rebinding a user package and cannot be used for binding 
IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ packages. The 
DB2Binder does not support -bindoptions for providing 
additional bind options beyond those exposed by explicit 
individual options when binding JCC packages. Db2Binder 
utility will now be able to bind JCC packages with any 
"server specific generic options" that are not currently 
supported through an external flag, when ?action is 
specified as "add" or "replace". (RTC 26270) 
 
 
Type-4 connectivity: When using an XA Connection, 
connection processing may hang during a server outage 
preventing failover to available alternate DB2 members to 
succeed. In a WebSphere environment, the condition is 
marked by WebSphere warning messages that indicate threads 
that have been hung for a long time. The thread stack 
traces show the thread is waiting in a socket read call. 
Socket read is a common driver activity so an 
XA Connection and a coinciding server failure are 
necessary to be present simultaneously to indicate this 
error condition. (RTC 39487) 
 
Type-4 connectivity: Due to best member calculation prior 
to flowing any query, a member that initially failed for a 
query may get picked again during seamless failover, which 
is incorrect. This causes seamless failover failures or 
sub-optimal reroute behavior. (RTC 41553) 
 
Type-4 connectivity: During automatic client reroute 
against DB2 pureScale, the driver does not retry the 
failed member even if all the other known members of the 
group are unavailable. This can prevent successful client 
reroute in certain situations. (RTC 47801) 
 
Type-4 connectity: An SSL connection to DB2 fails with a 
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: SSL protocol cannot 
be enabled in FIPS/SP800_131/suiteb mode" message when 
SP800-131=STRICT setting is configured on the JVM. 
(RTC 45793) 
 
Type-4 connectivity: The connectNode property on the 
driver is not supported with enableSysplexWLB=true. 
However, in such a misconfigured setup, the driver may end 
up using transports in a way that causes a DB2 LUW server 
to have a panic follwed by a crash. 
(RTC 44386) 
 
Type-4 connectivity: An SQL Exception with SQLCODE=-4228 
occurs due to an underlying 
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException during failover 
from a failing DB2 pureScale member to an available 
alternate member. (RTC 41845) 
 
Type-4 connectivity: A NullpointerException may be thrown 
by the driver when it is connected to a DB2 pureScale HADR 
cluster and a takeover is initiated by the alternate 
cluster. (RTC 42754) 
 
All connectivities: An SQL Exception with SQLCODE=-4463 
and message "Error parsing FLOAT literal value starting at 
index xx.  Error Detail:Unexpected character '.' found in 
FLOAT literal."  is thrown by the driver when an 
application specifies a floating point literal containing 
a decimal point. For example, a stored procedure call 
"CALL SP ('ABC',2,2.3E4,5,5.123)" fails if the third 
parameter is of type FLOAT. 
 
 
All connectivities: At any tracelevel other than 
tracelevel of zero, the driver's BLOB tracing mechanism 
can consume large amounts of CPU and Memory if the BLOB 
data exchanged with the server is huge. (RTC 40884) 
 
 
Type-4 connectivity: A standalone PREPARE flow to the 
server occurs when deferPrepares=false or addBatch( ) api 
are used. Such a standalone PREPARE flow does not 
seamlessly failover in case the connected server suffers 
an outage. This can cause SQL Exception with 
SQLCODE=-30108 indicating a non-seamless failover where an 
application may be expecting seamless failovers with no 
exceptions. (RTC 29263) 
 
 
All connectivities: If traceFile property value is 
supplied through the global db2.jcc.traceFile property and 
a traceLevel value is provided on a DataSource, driver 
ignores the traceLevel set on the DataSource. 
This issue has been fixed. (RTC 40787) 
 
 
Type-4 Connectivity, Type-2 LUW Connectivity: Added 
support to parse query attribute isolation level, 
QRYATTISOL DRDA parameter on OPNQRYRM. 
 
 
Type-4 Connectivity: The JCC Driver will not hold 
transport until the end of new unit of work. A possible 
symptom is occurrence of SQLException with SQLCODE=-811 
which goes away on turning off transport pooling. 
(RTC 45936) 
 
All zos Connectivity:  An application may receive 
SQLCODE181(-181) when it sends a timestamp with date 
component as 9999-12-31 or 0001-01-01 
(for example 9999-12-31 23:59:59.0) for a timestamp 
parameter of a stored procedure using the setObject() api. 
This occurs when timezone adjustment on the DB2 server 
causes the value to overflow or underflow. This has 
been fixed in the JCC driver by omitting TIME ZONE 
information in the value sent to the server in case the 
date in the timestamp matches 9999-12-31 or 0001-01-01. 
(RTC 42217) 
 
All zos Connectivity: Due to a conversion logic error,  the 
client application may receive ????? from the JCC driver 
instead of the actual SQLSTATE string. . This issue is fixed. 
(RTC 42728) 
 
All zos Connectivity: DB2 V10 NFM or higher server supports 
TIMESTAMP with TIME ZONE type. When application sends data like 
9999-12-31 23:59:59.0 to a timestamp column into these DB2 
servers results SQLCODE181(-181). This is because by default 
the driver was sending TIME ZONE information to the server. 
In the boundary values case, the server is not able to process 
it. With the current fix, the driver is NOT sending TIME ZONE 
information to theserver if the date part is 9999-12-31 or 
0001-01-01.(RTC 37158)
