SQL0206N error when trying to connect HammerDB to DB2 using db2dsdriver.cfg file - db2

I'm trying to generate some data for DB2 10.5 LUW using HammerDB v3.1 which is running on a Windows remote host. There is no ability to run HammerDB on the same host with DB2.
According to the HammerDB documentation I need to set up IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI.
What I did:
Downloaded and set up the driver on HammerDB host - v10.5fp10_ntx64_odbc_cli.zip as described here
Configure db2dsdriver.cfg file
<configuration>
<dsncollection>
<dsn alias="TPCC" name="<my database name>" host="<my host name>" port="50000"/>
<!-- Long aliases are supported -->
<dsn alias="longaliasname2" name="name2" host="server2.net1.com" port="55551">
<parameter name="Authentication" value="SERVER_ENCRYPT"/>
</dsn>
</dsncollection>
<databases>
<database name="<my database name>" host="<my host name>" port="50000">
<parameter name="CurrentSchema" value="OWNER1"/>
.......
Add environment variable DB2DSDRIVER_CFG_PATH
set DB2DSDRIVER_CFG_PATH=C:\ProgramData\IBM\DB2\C_IBMDB2_CLIDRIVER_clidriver\cfg
Run HammerDB GUI, try to build a schema and receive
Error in Virtual User 1: [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/LINUXX8664] SQL0206N "GLOBAL_VAR1" is not valid in the context where it is used. SQLSTATE=42703```

This error is happening because the db2dsdriver.cfg has excess information for your DSN on a Db2-client-node.
To recover, you can either rename and recreate your db2dsdriver.cfg/db2cli.ini files, or you can can edit the db2dsdriver.cfg file and remove the following stanza where it occurs for your DSN / database (take a backup as a precaution):
<sessionglobalvariables>
<parameter name="global_var1" value="abc"/>
</sessionglobalvariables>
I usually discard the default db2dsdriver.cfg/db2cli.ini, and use a script to populate them. This is possible by using the command line tool "db2cli", which has a variety of command lines parameters to let you write the cfg file stanzas for both DSN and databases. Documentation here.

Define a database entry in DB2 db2dsdriver.cfg file that can access multiple databases

I currently use the CLI method of registering a node and then a database for that node (with CATALOG NODE / CATALOG DATABASE) to configure my DB2 CLI client to access our database server.
With a single registration of a database I can effectively register the default database but then when I connect in my application using SQLDriverConnect and use the "DATABASE=" option I can connect to other databases available on my server.
I would like to switch to the much easier to manage db2dsdriver.cfg configuration file, however I have been unable to configure it to allow a single to access multiple databases.
Some code to help clarify. My DB2 server instance has two databases defined like:
CREATE DATABASE DB_1 ON /opt/data/DB_1 USING CODESET UTF-8 TERRITORY US COLLATE USING SYSTEM
CREATE DATABASE DB_2 ON /opt/data/DB_2 USING CODESET UTF-8 TERRITORY US COLLATE USING SYSTEM
I register this server with my client CLI using these commands:
CATALOG TCPIP NODE DB_NODE remote example.server.com server 50000
CATALOG DB DB_1 as DB_1 at node DB_NODE
With that setup I can perform the following from my CLI application:
rc = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, NULL, "DSN=DB_1;UID=dbtest1;PWD=zebco5;DATABASE=DB_1",
SQL_NTS, outStr, 128, &outSize, SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
or if I want to use the DB_2 database:
rc = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, NULL, "DSN=DB_1;UID=dbtest1;PWD=zebco5;DATABASE=DB_2",
SQL_NTS, outStr, 128, &outSize, SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
Note I did not need to change the DSN, merely the "DATABASE" connection option.
Recently I found the db2dsdriver.cfg configuration file which I would rather use. To that end I created this and uncataloged my node and db from the cli:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<configuration>
<dsncollection>
<dsn alias="DB_1" name="DB_1" host="server.example.com" port="50000"/>
</dsncollection>
<databases>
<database name="DB_1" host="server.example.com" port="50000"/>
<database name="DB_2" host="server.example.com" port="50000"/>
</databases>
</configuration>
I can connect with this:
rc = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, NULL, "DSN=DB_1;UID=dbtest1;PWD=zebco5;DATABASE=DB_1",
SQL_NTS, outStr, 128, &outSize, SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
just fine, but now using this to connect to DB_2:
rc = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, NULL, "DSN=DB_1;UID=dbtest1;PWD=zebco5;DATABASE=DB_2",
SQL_NTS, outStr, 128, &outSize, SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
results in this error:
SQL0843N The server name does not specify an existing connection. SQLSTATE=08003
Which I understand, but seems like a regression in functionality from the old node/db registration mechanism.
I'm attempting to determine if the functionality I was using is supported with the configuration file and I am doing something wrong or if it just doesn't work that way?
Thank you for your help.

SQL Server 2016 Express and LocalDb connection issues

I'm having a difficult time getting localdb running under IIS in the connection strings. I am running:
Windows 10
SQL Server 2016 Express and LocalDb installed
I added the following to my applicationHost.config, which I would not like to do if possible, but it changed the original error I was getting about not connecting:
<applicationPools>
<add name="myappPool"
autoStart="true" managedRuntimeVersion="v4.0">
// Added this <processModel identityType="ApplicationPoolIdentity" loadUserProfile="true" setProfileEnvironment="true" />**
</add>
<applicationPoolDefaults managedRuntimeVersion="v4.0">
<processModel identityType="ApplicationPoolIdentity"
loadUserProfile="true" setProfileEnvironment="false" />
</applicationPoolDefaults>
</applicationPools>
The myAppPool is running under ApplicationPoolIdentity but changing this to another level of like LocalService doesn't help.
I am now getting this error:
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file
C:\_sites\mySite\Databases\MyDb.ldf failed. A
database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be
opened, or it is located on UNC share.
Here is my connection string:
<add name="core"
connectionString="Server=(localdb)\mssqllocaldb;Integrated Security=true; AttachDbFileName=C:\\_sites\mySite\Databases\MyDb.ldf;" />
I can verify that I can connect to (localdb)\mssqllocaldb if Management Studio. I was assuming that localdb meant I did not have to attach the db like I regularly do with sql if using the connection string above. I even added anonymous logon to the file security of the files just to see what would happen.
Any ideas?

Entity framework with db mode cannot connect to server

I am trying to connect to by db instance using db first, I created a connection
<add name="Entities"
connectionString="metadata=res://*/Models.ModelCmarket.csdl|res://*/Models.ModelCmarket.ssdl|res://*/Models.ModelCmarket.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="data source=(localdb)\v12.0;initial catalog=Cevaheer;integrated security=True;trustservercertificate=False;multisubnetfailover=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework""
providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
And I always get an error -
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 50 - Local Database Runtime error occurred. The specified LocalDB instance does not exist.)
But if i try
<add name="CevhermarketEntities"
connectionString="Data source=(localdb)\v12.0;initial catalog=Cevaheer;integrated security=True;trustservercertificate=False;multisubnetfailover=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;user id=dbuser;password=flexsin#123!;multipleactiveresultsets=True;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
I can connect, and also can connect from VS sql server explorer and SSMS.
To begin - there are 4 issues that could be causing the common LocalDb SqlExpress Sql Server connectivity errors SQL Network Interfaces, error: 50 - Local Database Runtime error occurred, before you begin you need to rename the v11 or v12 to (localdb)\mssqllocaldb
You dont have the services running
You don't have the firelwall ports here
configured
Your install has and issue/corrupt (the steps below help give you a nice clean start)
You did not rename the V11 or 12 to mssqllocaldb
I found that the simplest is to do the below - I have attached the pics and steps for help.
First verify which instance you have installed, you can do this by checking the registry and by running cmd
cmd> Sqllocaldb.exe i
cmd> Sqllocaldb.exe s "whicheverVersionYouWantFromListBefore"
if this step fails, you can delete with option d cmd> Sqllocaldb.exe d "someDb"
cmd> Sqllocaldb.exe c "createSomeNewDbIfyouWantDb" create - the pic is error
cmd> Sqllocaldb.exe start "createSomeNewDbIfyouWantDb"

Create db2 dataSource in WAS liberty profile

I am developing for Websphere 8.5 (for z/OS), but i would like to use Liberty for local development on my Windows machine. I can't get the data source to work.
I created the following entry in the Server.xml to define the data source.
<library id="DB2JCC2Lib">
<fileset dir="C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB\java"/><!--includes="db2jcc.jar db2jcc_license_cu.jar db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar"-->
</library>
<dataSource id="xxdb" jndiName="jdbc/xxxx" type="javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource">
<jdbcDriver libraryRef="DB2JCC2Lib" id="db2-driver" javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource="com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2ConnectionPoolDataSource"/>
<properties.db2.jcc driverType="2" databaseName="xxxx" portNumber="50000" user="xxxx" password="{aes}xxxx"/>
</dataSource>
When my application initializes i get the following error message:
[jcc][4038][12241][3.61.65] T2LUW exception: SQL30081N Kommunikationsfehler. Verwendetes Kommunikationsprotokoll: "TCP/IP". Verwendete Kommunikations-API: "SOCKETS". Position, an der der Fehler erkannt wurde: "127.0.0.1". Übertragungsfunktion, die den Fehler festgestellt hat: "connect". Protokollspezifische(r) Fehlercode(s): "10061", "", "". SQLSTATE=08001
I think this message comes from the db2 Driver, unfortunately i didn't find a way yet to change it to english; but i think it's understandable for english speakers.
I have an ODBC System datasource that connects to DB2 v10 maintenance level 015 for z/OS. My local DB2 Connect Installation is v9.7.300.3885.
In my regular Websphere my working datasource has driver type 2, database Name set to the odbc-name and port number 50000. Server name is not set (empty). Classpath and implementation class is the same that i provided in the server.xml
I have tried everything i could find, any ideas?
Note: I can't make changes on the db2 server and there is no issue connecting to the database with other tools and the regular WebSphere.
Also the server name in the websphere configuration is empty, only database name is set. When i tried to set the servername in the server.xml to localhost or the db2 server i got the same result.
Any help is appreciated!
Edit: updated with correct Version Information
Edit 2: As long as it works i dont care what type (2 or 4) of the jdbc driver is used. I just want to point out again that type 2 is currently working on my machine. I tried it with type 4 and got the following message:
[jcc][t4][2043][11550][3.61.65] Exception java.net.ConnectException: Error opening socket to server xxx/xxx.30.3.34 on port 50,000 with message: Connection refused: connect. ERRORCODE=-4499, SQLSTATE=08001 DSRA0010E: SQL State = 08001, Error Code = -4,499
Sorry, previous post ate my xml. Trying again:
You will need a type 4 datasource to connect to a remote database server, i.e.,
<dataSource id="xxdb" jndiName="jdbc/xxxx" type="javax.sql.XADataSource">
<properties.db2.jcc driverType="4" serverName="the.db2.host.com" portNumber="50000" user="xxxx" password="xxxx" databaseName="LOC1" currentSQLID="SYSA"/>
<jdbcDriver libraryRef="DB2JCC2Lib">
</dataSource>
Type 2 is only for a local z/OS connection to a database resource. Your Windows, being remote from z/OS, requires you to use a type 4 connection. Type 4 requires both the serverName and portNumber to be specified. These are not applicable on a type 2 connection.

DB2 exception: Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory SQLCODE=-142,

I keep having the following error in MobileFirst Platform 6.3:
Runtime: org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create
PoolableConnectionFactory (DB2 SQL Error: SQLCODE=-142,
SQLSTATE=42612, SQLERRMC=null, DRIVER=4.19.26)
This is my adapter code:

function getCEID(cnum) {
return WL.Server.invokeSQLStatement({
preparedStatement : test2,
parameters : []
});
}
And adapter XML:

</connectivity>
I have remove the url, user and password.
Hope you help me out on clarification about the current problem.
I already know that the sql is not accepted since it's just a simple query.
I have also research about z/OS DB2 that it has issue with same error code sqlcode=-142. http://answers.splunk.com/answers/117024/splunk-db-connect-db2.html
While you say that this is a "simple query", the exception error code mentions the following:
-142
THE SQL STATEMENT IS NOT SUPPORTED
Explanation
An SQL statement was detected that is not supported by the database.
The statement might be valid for other IBM® relational database
products or it might be valid in another context. For example,
statements such as VALUES and SIGNAL or RESIGNAL SQLSTATE can be used
only in certain contexts, such as in a trigger body or in an SQL
Procedure.
System action
The statement cannot be processed.
Programmer response
Change the syntax of the SQL statement or remove the statement from
the program.
You should review the DB2 SQL guidelines for how to achieve what you want to achieve, and also explain that in the question if you'd like further assistance. For example, are you sure "WSDIWC.WBPTRR1" is actually available?
I encountered this same problem with JDBC connections to mainframe DB2 in MobileFirst 6.3. Connections to DB2 LUW worked fine. It appears that default pool validationQuery is valid for DB2 LUW but not DB2 z/OS.
You can work around the bug by doing the data source configuration in the Liberty profile server.xml. From the Eclipse Servers view, expand MobileFirst Development Server and edit the Server Configuration. Add the driver and data source there; for example:
<library id="db2jcc">
<fileset dir="whereever" includes="db2jcc4.jar db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar"/>
</library>
<dataSource id="db2" jndiName="jdbc/db2">
<jdbcDriver libraryRef="db2jcc"/>
<properties.db2.jcc databaseName="mydb" portNumber="5021"
serverName="myserver" user="myuser" password="mypw" />
</dataSource>
Then reference it in your adapter XML under connectionPolicy:
<dataSourceJNDIName>jdbc/db2</dataSourceJNDIName>
A benefit of configuring data sources in server.xml (vs the adapter XML) is you have access to all data source, JDBC, and JCC properties. So if the connection pool gives you other problems, you can customize it or switch to another data source type, such as type="javax.sql.DataSource".
