Fix history

Problem: The JDBC driver hangs when a response is not received after sending a request.

Fix: The driver has been modified to timeout after 10 minutes and provide a message back to the client that a timeout situation has occurred. You can specify a different timeout period by appending RESPONSETIMEOUT=minutes to the Connection URL string, where minutes is greater than or equal to zero. A zero timeout value disables the timeout function.

Example: jdbc:cac:CACSAMP:tcp/192.168.20.11/3003:RESPONSETIMEOUT=2 cacuser

To be sure you are using the updated driver provided in this fix pack, edit all your existing JDBC connections to point to the new driver.
  1. In the Database Explorer view, right-click the connection and select Edit Connection....
  2. Click Browse, next to the Class location.
  3. Find and select the updated JDBC driver jar file from the following location. The install_dir is the location where you installed Classic Data Architect, such as C:\IBM\Classic91.
    install_dir\CDA\eclipse\plugins\
com.ibm.datatools.dbdefinition.db2.cac.classic_1.0.2.CDAV91_FP\driver\cacjdbc21.jar

    The default installation path on Windows® is C:\Program Files\IBM\WSClassic91\CDA.

  2. In a Web browser, go to http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/websphere/cda/91/patch/feature_zh_CN.properties.
  3. Save the properties file to the directory specified in step 1.
  4. Restart the Classic Data Architect product updater.
