Calling the IBM DB2 testconn11.exe or testconn20.exe program from DB2 Connect v9.5 or v9.7 fails on step 4 with a NullReferenceException: . Step 4: Calling GetSchema for tables to validate existance of schema functions System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at IBM.Data.DB2.bq.x(String[] A_0) at IBM.Data.DB2.bq.b(String A_0, String[] A_1) at IBM.Data.DB2.DB2Connection.GetSchema(String collectionName, String[] restrictionValues) at IBM.Data.DB2.DB2Connection.GetSchema(String collectionName) at TestConn.myClassName.GetSchemaTable() Test failed ---------------------------------------------------------------- . Those programs should be modified to return a meaningful message when failing to run any metadata stored procedure. . This APAR will only correct the error message, but it will not resolve the problem. The GetSchema function will not work when the DESCSTAT parameter is set to NO. | |
