Abstract
This document describes issues encountered at customer sites and the solution for each.
Unexpected disconnect using IBM WebSphere Application Server or other Java applications
Symptom:
Occasionally a query would fail with the error [StarSQL][JDBC Driver] Communications error - the input stream ended abnormally while receiving data. WebSphere's Test Connection function succeeded. A DRDA trace indicated a successful connection to the host system, followed by an SQL statement sent to the host over an hour later, with no response from the host.
Solution:
This situation may occur if the WebSphere connection pool is set to hold connections longer than the DB2 idle timer. The result is that the application attempts to connect using a socket that has already been closed by DB2. The solution is to configure the WebSphere idle timer to a value less than the DB2 idle timer.
This condition is not unique to WebSphere; similar mismatches may occur when using other Java applications and application servers.
Connecting to Apache Derby
Symptom:
Connecting to Apache Derby fails with the error:
The use of Distributed Data Management (DDM) command X'2121' not supported
Solution:
Add decimalDelimiter=host;sendUnicode=True to the connection URL e.g.
JDBC://127.0.0.1:1527/SQDRPLUS;decimalDelimiter=host; sendUnicode=True
