Problem IC70744
|
Status: Closed |
DATA LINK PROPERTIES IN MICROSOFT EXCEL AND SQL SERVER MANGEMENT STUDIO DOESNOT SHOW DB2 COPY NAME APPENDED TO DB2 OLE DB PROVID |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
IBM OLEDB Provider listing in "Data Link Provider" does not show
DB2 copy names when multiple copies are installed.
Repro steps
open the excel 2007
Go to menu
Data -> Get External Data -> using wizard (3rd option) ->
Other/Advanced drivers -> choose driver with copy name
For excel 2003 the
Data->import external data->Connect to new data
source->Other/advanced
Using sql server managment studio
Connect to sql server using sql server mangement studio
Go to linked server ->new linked server
it will open linked server diaglog box which will list oledb
providers.
It lists OLE DB Provider(s) and that is where IBM OLEDB
Providers are listed . Some of them might be displayed
without having copyname appended
This can happen if the installed DB2 copy is default and in that
case the DB2 COPY name is not appended to OLEDB provider.
the problem doesnot happen when installed DB2 copy is non
default one where the actually copy name is appended.
the excel/SQl server management studo reads the DB2 OLE DB
provider from
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{IBMDADB2 guid}\OLE DB Provider" key |
| Problem Summary: |
see problem abstract. |
| Local Fix: |
To get copy name for other IBM oledb providers which has not
showing copy name appended in DB2 oledb provider list, do this
process as workaround
1)Using regedit go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\DB2\InstalledCopies
2) Change the named "Default" to some value like DB2 ( value
other than installed DB2Copy names)
3)Get the sqllib/bin folder path which correspond to db2copy
which is not appended in oledb provider string in excel DSN
dialog box.
4) Run regsvr32 "DB2copypath/sqllib/bin/ibmdadb2.dll" from
start->run
5) Repeat step 3 and 4 for other DB2copies for which OLEDB
provider copy name is not appended in excel DSN dialog box.
6) Close the excel and reopen it and check if dsn dialog box is
showing the copyname now
7) Revert back the DB2 copy value changed in step 2 to original
DB2 copy |
