HELP - DB2 v9 & App Server PE 9.0 - PING Connection Pool Failure - HELP
I've been playing around with Studio Creator and DB2 v9 without any issues.
So I figured I would installed App Server PE 9 and use this as my production server that I would deploy to from studio creator.
However, in my efforts to set up db2/v9 I have been trying to ping a connection pool without any luck. I get the following message:
Operation 'pingConnectionPool' failed in 'resources' Config Mbean. Target exception message: Connection could not be allocated because: [sunm][DB2 JDBC Driver]Resource Limits Reached( ALLOCATE MEMORY FOR NEW SQLSTT FAILED ). Diagnostic Info: FUNCTION ID = 0049 , PROBE POINT = 0400 , TRACE POINT = 0030 , SUBCODE1 = 8B0F0000, SUBCODE2 = 78A68A98, SUBCODE3 = 00000000, ERROR MSG = Parser: Memory allocation error.
My datasource class name is com.sun.sql.jdbcx.db2.DB2DataSource.
And my resource type is javax.sql.datasource
I have copied smbase.jar, smdb2.jar and smutil.jar into c:\sun\appserver\lib
and I have all of the properties (serverName, portNumber, databaseName, user, password) created and set accordingly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Are you using this driver on standalone app. server (without creator intervention) ?
1) Not sure whether this jdbc driver (sm*.jar) will work in standalone SJSAS PE. They will work only with creator-appserver environment or standalone SJSAS EE.
2) Can you try a sample program (standalone jdbc program) using this driver (without appserver environment) and check whether the same exceptions are thrown ?
Thanks,

Here is how I got the DB2 Express-C and Sun PE 9.0 to work. ( at least base connectivity wise )
1. ) You have to have at least the DB2 Client installed on the system that will be communicating to the DB2 instance.
2.) The following jars will be needed ( depending on the driver type used) . db2java.zip, db2jcc.jar, and db2jcc_license_cu.jar and use them in the App Server ->JVM settings -> Path Settings -> Classpath Suffix
3.) The next setup is dependent on the Type driver you use
I used the Type 4 and this is the resource setup I used.
Connection Pool:
Name: DB2TestPool
Datasource Classname: com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2SimpleDataSource
Resource Type: javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource
Properties:
user: xxxxxx
password: xxxxxx
databaseName: TEST
serverName: <hostname of machine>
portnumber: 50000
driverType: 4
URL: jdbc:db2://<hostname>:<port>/<database>
JDBC Resource:
JNDI Name: jdbc/TEST
Pool Name: DB2TestPool
With this configuration I was able to ping the database as well as connect to create an entity bean from a table. This should give you a starting point.
I have yet to deploy my application, but should be doing that sometime today to verify that a connection can be made and used from within the application.
