APAR status
Closed as program error.

The admin server is attempting to open connections to the
Sequelink server without first unlocking the driver. This
results in license verification errors in the Windows event
logs only.  No errors appear in the WebSphere logs and the
admin server is operational.

****************************************************************
The IBM Branded DataDirect JDBC drivers require an unlock
mechanism for use within WebSphere.  This unlocking step
was not being done when the "Test Connection" button was used
for these JDBC drivers, as well as on connections used to
retrieve the database meta-data.  This results in License
Verification Errors occurring, but does not affect the
functionality of WebSphere.
Problem conclusion
Added unlock code to the "Test Connection" and meta-data
connections to resolve these error messages.
