Cause: A request was made to read from files matching the specified file pattern. No files were found matching the pattern.
Action: Correct the file pattern specified and retry the operation.
Cause: An attempt to add a service name and port number to the TCP/IP services file failed or Network Information Services is being used and only the local services file was updated. The port number was used to catalog the node instead of the service name.
Action: If you wish to use the service name instead of the port number in the node directory entry, the node must be manually uncataloged and then recataloged using the service name. The services file must also be updated manually. If Network Information Services (NIS) is being used, the local services file may have been updated but the NIS server must be updated manually. In this case, the node was also cataloged using the port number.
Cause: The discover request did not return data for one or more of the requested DB2 systems. One of the following may have occurred:
Action: Verify that the DB2 system to which the discover request was sent is enabled for discovery. If enabled for discovery, ensure that the Administration Server on the DB2 system is running.
Cause: The nname value specified is already being used by another NetBIOS application on the network.
Action: Select 'YES' to use the specified nname or 'NO' to cancel the request. If 'YES' is selected, any application using the existing nname will be affected.
Cause: The socket number specified is being used by another DB2 instance on the workstation.
Action: Select 'YES' to use the specified socket or 'NO' to cancel the request. If 'YES' is selected, any application using the existing socket number will be affected.
Cause: An entry already exists in the TCP/IP services file for the service name and port number specified. Another application may be using the entry.
Action: Select 'YES' to use the existing entry or 'NO' to cancel the request. If 'YES' is selected, any application using the existing entry will be affected.
Cause: The TCP/IP services file contains an entry that uses the port number specified but the associated service name does not match the service name specified.
Action: Select 'YES' to use the specified service name and port number or 'NO' to cancel the request. If 'YES' is selected, a new entry will be added to the services file. Any applications using the entry with the existing port number may be affected.
Cause: The TCP/IP services file contains an entry that uses the service name specified but the associated port number does not match the port number specified.
Action: Select 'YES' to use the specified service name and port number or 'NO' to cancel the request. If 'YES' is selected, the existing entry in the services file, using the service name, will be updated to use the port number specified. This may affect any applications using the existing entry.
Cause: The request was cancelled by the user.
Action: None.
Cause: An attempt to add the Transaction Program name to the APPC stack failed.
Action: The APPC stack must be manually updated. If the Transaction Program name is not added to the stack, remote connections to the server will not be possible.
Cause: An attempt to add the service name and port number to the TCP/IP services file failed. The database manager configuration file has been updated with the service name specified.
Action: The service name and port number must be manually added to the TCP/IP service file. If the entry is not added to the services file, remote connections to the server will not be possible.
Cause: A request to search the network for DB2 systems completed successfully but no DB2 systems were found. Following is a list of possible reasons why no DB2 systems were found:
Action: Following is a list of possible actions to take in order for discovery to find DB2 systems:
Cause: A request to catalog a database resulted in a node being cataloged that uses the APPC protocol. The node was cataloged using the symbolic destination name which was retrieved from the profile specified. The APPC stack was not configured because there was insufficient information in the profile to configure the stack or APPC was not detected on the DB2 system. It was not possible to use a different protocol because no other matching protocol was detected on the client.
Action: If APPC is not installed on the client, uncatalog the database and recatalog the database manually using a protocol that is available on both the client and server. If APPC is installed, configure the stack if it has not already been configured.
Cause: The transaction program name specified is already being used by another DB2 instance or a non DB2 application on this server.
Action: Select 'YES' to use the specified transaction program name or 'NO' to cancel the request. If "YES" is selected, for all applications using the transaction program name concurrently, APPC will only be operational for the first one started. If any new APPC parameter values have been specified, the APPC stack will be updated with these values.
Cause: The TCP/IP services file contains entries that use the service name and port number specified but they are not being used in the same entry.
Action: Select 'YES' to use the specified service name and port number or 'NO' to cancel the request. If 'YES' is selected, the existing entry in the services file, using the service name, will be updated to use the port number specified. This may affect any applications using the existing entries.
Cause: An unexpected internal error has occurred.
Action: Turn trace on and retry the steps that caused the error. If the problem reoccurs, save the trace information to a file and contact IBM Support with the following information:
Cause: The service name and port number entered by the user conflicts with existing values in the TCP/IP services file. The service name may already be used with a different port number, the port number may already be used with a different service name or both.
Action: Specify a service name and port number that does not conflict with existing entries in the services file.
Cause: An error was encountered attempting to open, read, change the file position or close a file.
Action: If a file name was specified, verify that the file name is valid and that the user has permission to access the file. Also check for any disk and operating system errors.
Cause: An error was encountered reading from a file. The format of the file is not valid. Possible errors include:
Action: If a file name was specified, and the file has been modified by the user, regenerate the file and retry the operation. If the problem persists, and the file was not modified by the user, or the problem occurred during a Discover request, turn trace on and retry the steps that caused the error. If the problem reoccurs, save the trace information to a file and contact IBM Support with the following information:
Cause: An error was detected attempting to allocate memory.
Action: Terminate other applications running on the system that may be using large amounts of memory. If the problem persists, turn trace on and retry the operation. If the problem reoccurs, save the trace information to a file and contact IBM Support with the following information:
Cause: An error was detected while writing to a profile. The error could also be encountered when updating a host system password and errors are being recorded in the file db2pem.log.
Action: Verify that the file system on which the file resides is not full and is not damaged. Also check for any operating system errors.
Cause: The database cannot be cataloged because none of the protocols available on the client match any of the protocols available at the server.
Action: Ensure that the client and server has at least one matching communication protocol that can be detected on both the client and the server. If a matching protocol is installed on both the client and the server, the protocol could not be detected. In this case, catalog the database and node manually.
Cause: The length of the database alias specified is not a valid or the alias contains invalid characters.
Action: Correct the alias name and resubmit the request.
Cause: The length of the application requestor name specified is not valid or the name contains invalid characters.
Action: Correct the application requestor and resubmit the request.
Cause: The length of the parameter value specified for the application requestor is not valid.
Action: Correct the parameter value and resubmit the request.
Cause: The length of the target database name specified is not valid or the name contains invalid characters.
Action: Correct the target database name and resubmit the request.
Cause: A request to add an ODBC data source failed. The error could be caused by an out of memory error, a disk full condition or a disk failure.
Action: Verify that the disk on which the ODBC.INI and DB2CLI.INI files reside is not full and that the disk is not damaged. In addition, if other applications are using large amounts of memory, terminate the applications and retry the operation.
Cause: A request to remove an ODBC data source failed. The error could be caused by an out of memory condition or a disk failure.
Action: If other applications are using large amounts of memory, terminate the applications and retry the operation. Also verify that the disk on which the ODBC.INI and DB2CLI.INI files reside is not damaged.
Cause: The bind request cannot be processed because another bind operation is already in progress.
Action: Complete or terminate the bind in progress and resubmit the bind request.
Cause: The adapter specified was not detected on the DB2 system.
Action: Specify an adapter that is available and resubmit the request.
Cause: The nname value specified is already being used by another NetBIOS application on the network.
Action: Specify a unique nname and retry the operation.
Cause: An attempt was made to open the specified file but the path specified is invalid or does not exists.
Action: Ensure that the path specified is valid and the path for the file exists.
Cause: An attempt was made to access the requested file but the user does not have the required authority to access the file.
Action: Ensure that the user has the required authority to access the file.
Cause: An attempt to access the file specified failed because the name specified is a directory and not a file.
Action: Specify a valid file name and retry the operation.
Cause: An attempt to access the file specified failed because of a share violation. Another process may have the file opened in exclusive mode.
Action: The file is currently being accessed by another process in exclusive mode. Ensure that no other process is accessing the file and retry the operation or specify another file name.
Cause: An attempt to retrieve, add or remove the indicated variable from the DB2 Profile Registry failed. The reason code indicates the cause of the problem. The possible reason codes are as follows:
Action: For reason code -3, terminate other applications using large amounts of memory and retry the operation. For reason code -4, ensure that the variable is set in the DB2 Profile Registry. For reason code -7, ensure that the DB2 Profile Registry has been created. For reason codes -8 and -9, ensure that the specified profile has been created. For reason code -10, ensure that the registry file is not locked by another process.
Cause: An attempt to retrieve the address of a function from the indicated library failed.
Action: Verify that the correct version of the library is being used. If the incorrect version is being used, install the correct version. If the problem persists, turn trace on and retry the steps that caused the error. If the problem reoccurs, save the trace information to a file and contact IBM Support with the following information:
Cause: An attempt to load the indicated library failed.
Action: Verify that the path in which the library resides is included in the library path. Also ensure that there is enough memory available to load the library. If the problem persists, turn trace on and retry the steps that caused the error. If the problem reoccurs, save the trace information to a file and contact IBM Support with the following information:
Cause: An attempt to unload the indicated library failed.
Action: Turn trace on and retry the steps that caused the internal error. If the problem reoccurs, save the trace information to a file and contact IBM Support with the following information:
Cause: One or more of the input parameters is not valid. Following is a list of possible errors:
Action: Verify the following:
Cause: A NetBIOS adapter was not detected on the DB2 system. The database cannot be cataloged.
Action: Catalog the database and node manually if an adapter is available on the DB2 system.
Cause: The TCP/IP port number specified is out of range. The maximum value that can be specified for the port number if 65534.
Action: Specify a port number that does not exceed the maximum value and retry the operation.
Cause: The DB2INSTANCE environment variable is not set or is set to the Administration Server instance. The Client Configuration Assistant cannot run under the Administration Server Instance.
Action: Set the DB2INSTANCE variable to an instance other than the Administration Server instance.
Cause: A request to update the settings of an ODBC data source failed. The error could be caused by an out of memory error, a disk full condition or a disk failure.
Action: Verify that the disk on which the DB2CLI.INI file resides is not full and that the disk is not damaged. In addition, if other applications are using large amounts of memory, terminate the applications and retry the operation.
Cause: A request was made to catalog a database using APPC or to configure a server instance for APPC. The request could not be completed because one or more parameters were not specified.
Action: Ensure that all required parameters have been specified and retry the operation.
Cause: The database selected is using APPC for the database connection. However, the APPC stack has not been configured for the connection.
