DB2 - Problem description
Problem IC64033 | Status: Closed |
A FILE PROGRAM ON WINDOWS C: DRIVE CAUSED ERROR DURING START OF DB2 PROCESSES. | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
As soon a file named PROGRAM is available on C:\ drive DB2 could not start processes like db2fmp.exe anymore. You would see entries in the db2diag.log like: OSERR : 193 "%1 is not a valid Win32 application." Normally this file is created by mistake and Windows will give you a warning during startup that this file could lead to errors. This file would be created when output is redirected without double quotes to a directory within c:\Program Files\ like: dir > c:\Program Files\out.lst Another reason when this file is created is during the collection of support information. The db2support program is calling under the cover idmsupport when Intelligent Miner server part V9.5 is installed. During execution of idmsupport the output gets redirected to C:\Program Files\IBM\sqllib\bin and this file named "program " gets generated on C:\ drive. Which causing trouble in running the DB2 applications. | |
Problem Summary: | |
A FILE PROGRAM ON WINDOWS C:\ DRIVE CAUSED ERROR DURING START OF DB2 PROCESSES. | |
Local Fix: | |
It is necessary to rename the file to other name say "program1" as a work around. To avoid that during db2support this file is created you need to rename idmsupport.exe to idmsupport.old which is located in the C:\Program Files\IBM\sqllib\bin directory. | |
