Problem IC68394
|
Status: Closed |
TESTCONNXX UTILITY FAILS WITH NULLREFERENCEEXCEPTION ON STEP 4 |
| product: |
DB2 CONNECT / DB2CONNCT / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
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. |
