DB2 Development Center Version 8.2 requires level 9.2.9 of the Distributed Debugger

DB2 Development Center Version 8.2 now requires Version 9.2.9 of the IBM Distributed Debugger. If you do not have Version 9.2.9 of the Distributed Debugger installed, you cannot debug Java stored procedures using the Development Center.

Version 9.2.9 of the Distributed Debugger no longer supports Solaris Operating Environments.

For more information about the Distributed Debugger, visit to the Distributed Debugger Web site at http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/debugger.

Length restriction in the DB2 Development Center Change Variable Range window

When you are changing the length of a variable using the Change Variable Range dialog in DB2 Development Center, there is a maximum length of 1024 bytes. This limitation is currently documented in an English-only message.

Restrictions to DB2 Universal type 2 and type 4 drivers

In Version 8.2, support was added to allow users to connect to a DB2 Universal Database^(TM) (UDB) database from within the Development Center using the DB2^(R) Universal Type 2 and Type 4 drivers. However, if you attempt to use one of these drivers to connect to an iSeries^(TM) server, or to a DB2 UDB server that is Version 8.1 or earlier, you will see the following error message:

Connection to <database> failed. 
IBM DB2 Universal driver (JCC) not found.

Refer to the topic titled "JDBC drivers" in the DB2 Information Center for additional information on which drivers to use in order to avoid this error.
