Data access problems - Cloudscape database

This article provides troubleshooting tips for accessing Cloudscape databases.

What kind of problem are you having accessing your Cloudscape database?

Tip: Cloudscape errorCodes (2000, 3000, 4000) indicate levels of severity, not specific error conditions. In diagnosing Cloudscape problems, pay attention to the given sqlState value.

Unexpected IOException wrapped in SQLException, accessing Cloudscape database

This problem can occur because Cloudscape databases use a large number of files. Some operating systems, such as the Solaris Operating Environment, limit the number of files an application can open at one time. If the default is a low number, such as 64, you can get this exception.

If your operating system lets you configure the number of file descriptors, you can correct the problem by setting the number to a high value, such as 1024.

The "select for update" operation causes table lock and deadlock when accessing Cloudscape

If a select for update operation on one row locks the entire table, which creates a deadlock condition, there might be undefined indexes on that table. The lack of an index on the columns you use in the where clause can cause Cloudscape to create a table lock rather than a row level lock.

To resolve this problem, create an index on the affected table.

Error "The version of the IBM Universal JDBC driver in use is not licensed for connectivity to Cloudscape databases"

At the client runtime, an error similar to the following occurs:
The version of the IBM Universal JDBC driver in use is not 
licensed for connectivity to Cloudscape databases.  To connect 
to this DB2 server, please obtain a licensed copy of the IBM DB2 
Universal Driver for JDBC and SQLJ.  An appropriate license file 
db2jcc_license_*.jar for this target platform must be installed to 
the application classpath.  Connectivity to Cloudscape databases is 
enabled by any of the following license files: 
{ db2jcc_license_c.jar, b2jcc_license_cu.jar, db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar }
The problem occurs because an incorrect JDBC driver jar file name is specified in the class path for JDBC provider. For example, the jar file name may have an extra '_', as follows:
${UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/db2jcc_license__cu.jar
To resolve the problem:
  1. Correct the UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH jar file name in the JACL script
  2. Restart the cluster.
  3. Rerun the client.

Running an application causes a runtime exception which produces an unreadable message.

At client runtime, you may receive a message similar to the following: Caused by: com.ibm.db2.jcc.a.SqlException: DB2 SQL error: SQLCODE: -1, SQLSTATE: 42X05, SQLERRMC: ANNUITYHOLDER20^T42X05

The problem occurs because the property retrieveMessagesfromServerOnGetMessage, which is required by WebSphere Application Server, has not been set.

To resolve the problem, on the admininstrative console
  1. Click Resources -> JDBC Providers
  2. Click on a Cloudscape provider
  3. Scroll down and click on Data Sources
  4. Select your data source (or add a new one)
  5. Scroll down and select Custom Properties
  6. If the property retrieveMessagesFromServerOnGetMessage already exists, set its value to true. If the property does not exist, select Newand add the property retrieveMessagesFromServerOnGetMessage with a value true
  7. Rerun the client
The SystemOut.log will now generate readable messages so that you can resolve the underlying problem.
