DB2 CONNECT / DB2CONNCT / 970 - DB2

CLPPlus does not read db2dsdriver.cfg present under cfg folder 
for IBM Data Server  product installation or any customized path 
chosen during response file installation. 
 
By default: On AIXﾩ, HP-UX, Linux, or Solaris operating systems: 
instance_path/cfg 
On Windows 7 operating systems and later: 
C:\ProgramData\IBM\DB2\driver_copy_name\cfg 
 
For example the db2dsdirver.cfg under: 
C:\ProgramData\IBM\DB2\DB2COPY1\cfg  with below : 
<configuration> 
  <dsncollection> 
    <dsn alias="ABCDE" name="ABCDE" host="TEST1.ABC.DEF.COM" 
port="500"> 
      <parameter name="InterruptProcessingMode" value="1"/> 
    </dsn> 
  </dsncollection> 
</configuration> 
 
Note: DB2DSDRIVER_CFG_PATH is not set.
