After upgrade our IBM System i (aka i5/OS or AS/400) from V5R4 to V7R1, one of our applications that connect to DB2 using ODBC fails with the following error:
Error Code: 69899
SQLSTATE: S1000
[IBM] [System i Access ODBC Driver] [DB2 for i5/OS] PWS0005
Error occurred in the database host server code.
The symptoms are:
In a While / Wend loop a CURSOR is declared, then opens, do fetch(s) and close.
If at any iteration the cursor does not retrieve any rows, in the following iteration the error occurs after declaring the cursor (with a different SQL query) when you try to open it.
First we updated the ODBC driver to the latest version available, but the problem persists.
Because we needed an urgent solution, I solved the problem by making a pre-select to determine if the cursor will return rows, otherwise skip that iteration, this solves the problem for now but does not seem a very elegant solution.
Any idea how to get more information about the error that occurs on the host?
Thank you very much in advance.
Generally speaking, if an error occurs in the server side code, you should call IBM support and report it. They'll ask if you're on the latest cume and probably the latest database group PTFs.
The server runs the ODBC connexion in a job called QZDASOINIT. Since there are probably many connexions to the system, there are probably many QZDASOINIT jobs. To find yours, go to a terminal session and WRKOBJLCK MYPROFILE *USRPRF. You'll be presented with a list of jobs running with your user profile. At least one of them will be the QZDASOINIT job you're looking for. Use option 5 to look at the job, then option 10 to see the job log. Press F10 to see the detailed messages and F18 to go to the bottom (most recent) entries.
If the error was so severe that the server job terminated abnormally, there won't be a lock on your user profile. Instead, go to the spooled job log by using WRKSPLF.
IBM have been logging some SQL internal errors since V5R4. select * from qrecovery.qsq901s; to see any SQLCODE -901 errors.
Make sure that you have installed the latest fix pack for the latest version of System I Access
I've had this error before and it was caused by a syntax error in the connection string. It was a setting that was insignificant in older versions of the OS and more significant in newer versions, but did not cause the connection itself to fail so it was hard to track down.
For example: Port Number:8471 had a spelling mistake and was Porte Number:8471 hard to spot but once found, it fixed the problem for me. Basically everything past this part of the connection got ignored.
Wanted to add another solution to this problem. The SQL Packages that exist on your system get corrupted after/and or during upgrades. You MUST delete these packages after an upgrade. This will get rid of the old packages and will allow the system to recreate the packages at the new OS version level. When deleting SQL packages some connections/jobs may have locks on those packages so you might have to shut host services down. Use the DLTSQLPKG command to do the delete. In v7r2 and higher there are some additional steps to do as IBM changed somethings when it comes to packages you can find the info here http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1015556
Or tell your ODBC/JDBC/.Net Data adapter/provider to not use packages. This is probably less desirable as there are performance benefits to packages.

I am using ORACLE database in a windows environment and running a JSP/servlet web application in tomcat. After I do some operations with the application it gives me the following error.
ORA-12518, TNS: listener could not hand off client connection
can any one help me to identify the reason for this problem and propose me a solution?
The solution to this question is to increase the number of processes :
1. Open command prompt
2. sqlplus / as sysdba; //login sysdba user
3. startup force;
4. show parameter processes; // This shows 150(some default) processes allocated, then increase the count to 800
5. alter system set processes=800 scope=spfile;
As Tried and tested.
In my case I found that it is because I haven't closed the database connections properly in my application. Too many connections are open and Oracle can not make more connections. This is a resource limitation. Later when I check with oracle forum I could see some reasons that have mentioned there about this problem. Some of them are.
In most cases this happens due to a network problem.
Your server is probably running out of memory and need to swap memory to disk.One cause can be an Oracle process consuming too much memory.
if it is the second one, please verify large_pool_size or check dispatcher were enough for all connection.
You can refer bellow link for further details.

I ran across the same problem, in my case it was a new install of the Oracle client on a new desktop that was giving the error, other clients were working so I knew it wouldn't be a fix to the database configuration. tnsping worked properly but sqlplus failed with the ora-12518 listener error.
I had the tnsnames.ora entry with a SID instead of a service_name, then once I fixed that, still the same error and found I had the wrong service_name as well. Once I fixed that, the error went away.
If from one day to another the issue shows for no apparent reasons, add these following lines at the bottom of the listner.ora file. If your oracle_home environment variable is set like this:
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle11\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server)
The lines to add are:
ADR_BASE_LISTENER = C:\oracle11\app\oracle\
DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_LISTENER=OFF
I had the same problem when executing queries in my application. I'm using Oracle client with Ruby on Rails.
The problem started when I accidentally started several connections with the DB and didn't close them.
When I fixed this, everything started to work fine again.
Hope this helps another one with the same problem.
I experienced the same error after upgrading to Windows 10. I solved it by starting services for Oracle which are stopped.
Start all the services as shown in the following image:
I had the same issue. After restarting all Oracle services it worked again.
same problem encountered for me.
And from oracle server listener log, can see more information.
and I found that the SERVICE_NAME is not match the tnsnames.ora configured Service name. so I changed the application's data source configuration from SID value to Service_NAME value and it fixed.

I had the same issue in real time application and the issue gone by itself next day. upon checking, it was found that server ran out of memory due to additional processes running.
So in my case, the reason was server run out of memory
first of all
check the listener log
check the show parameter processes vs select count(*) from v$processes;
increase the process, it may require SGA increase

Why did I get below error? This error doesn't always happen. It occurred only once. This error came from ResultSet.next(). I am doing some research about it but I couldn't find the main reason. Here is the link that I found for same SLQCODE and SQLSTATE.

DB2 version: DB2 v10.1.0.4
OS: Linux
The underlying error (that caused the rollback) is the -293, which corresponds to SQL0293N (error accessing container). You need to check the details at this link of the documentation.
Don't ignore this error-message, you want to find root cause, from database diagnostics files.
It may be that the issue is only with one specific container that gets occasionally accessed. Or it may have been a temporary issue according to how the container is implemented (file-system, raw, san, device etc).
If your Db2-server has good alerting at operating-system, file-system, and Db2-level then there may have been alerts about the underlying issue.
If the Db2-server runs on Linux/Unix/Windows, then search in the diagnostics files for references to the -1476 and then find other preceding messages. That usually gives more details. You can use the timestamp of the error message to narrow down the diagnostics location where you may find more details. If you find that information, edit your question to include it. You might also add details of the Db2-server version and the operating system on which it runs.
We record our office IP phone activity using Xima software's Chronicall, which uses a PostgreSQL backend. The server on which both of these are installed is an ESXi 5.5 VM running Windows Server Standard 2008 SP1. For some time now, we have been getting the following PostgreSQL errors in Windows event viewer:
"FATAL: could not reattach to shared memory (key=248,
addr=02510000): 487"
"WARNING: worker took too long to start; cancelled"
These errors occur every hour or two, and always occur back-to-back in the order listed above.
Xima support has looked at the issue multiple times and has not been able to resolve it. Upon their recommendation, I have upgraded Java, disabled antivirus, and run the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool (came back clean), but the errors persist. Xima has specifically stated that PostgreSQL should not be updated, as versions above 8.3.7 are known to cause other issues with Chronicall.
Any other suggestions to resolve this issue?
I would say the company (Xima) is at fault here, since PostgreSQL 8.3.7 is hopelessly outdated.
Quoting the official Versioning policy of Postgres:
Postgres 8.3 has reached EOL in Februar 2013
Moreover, Postgres strongly recommends:
We always recommend that all users run the latest available minor
release for whatever major version is in use.
The latest point release of 8.3 is 8.3.23.
Version 8.3.7 is just not right.
Running Postgres on a Windows Server 2008 VM wouldn't be my first idea either...
This exception is being thrown by the PostgreSQL 8.3.7 server to my application.
Does anyone know what this error means and what I can do about it?
ERROR: cached plan must not change result type
STATEMENT: select code,is_deprecated from country where code=$1
I figured out what was causing this error.
My application opened a database connection and prepared a SELECT statement for execution.
Meanwhile, another script was modifying the database table, changing the data type of one of the columns being returned in the above SELECT statement.
I resolved this by restarting the application after the database table was modified. This reset the database connection, allowing the prepared statement to execute without errors.
I'm adding this answer for anyone landing here by googling ERROR: cached plan must not change result type when trying to solve the problem in the context of a Java / JDBC application.
I was able to reliably reproduce the error by running schema upgrades (i.e. DDL statements) while my back-end app that used the DB was running. If the app was querying a table that had been changed by the schema upgrade (i.e. the app ran queries before and after the upgrade on a changed table) - the postgres driver would return this error because apparently it does caching of some schema details.
You can avoid the problem by configuring your pgjdbc driver with autosave=conservative. With this option, the driver will be able to flush whatever details it is caching and you shouldn't have to bounce your server or flush your connection pool or whatever workaround you may have come up with.
Reproduced on Postgres 9.6 (AWS RDS) and my initial testing seems to indicate the problem is completely resolved with this option.
Documentation: https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/head/connect.html#connection-parameters
You can look at the pgjdbc Github issue 451 for more details and history of the issue.
JRuby ActiveRecords users see this: https://github.com/jruby/activerecord-jdbc-adapter/blob/master/lib/arjdbc/postgresql/connection_methods.rb#L60
Note on performance:
As per the reported performance issues in the above link - you should do some performance / load / soak testing of your application before switching this on blindly.
On doing performance testing on my own app running on an AWS RDS Postgres 10 instance, enabling the conservative setting does result in extra CPU usage on the database server. It wasn't much though, I could only even see the autosave functionality show up as using a measurable amount of CPU after I'd tuned every single query my load test was using and started pushing the load test hard.
For us, we were facing similar issue. Our application works on multiple schema. Whenever we were doing schema changes, this issue started occruding.
Setting up prepareThreshold=0 parameter inside JDBC parameter disables statement caching at database level. This solved it for us.
I got this error, I manually ran the failing select query and it fixed the error.
I’m working on a experiment regarding to a course I’m taking about tuning DB2. I’m using the EC2 from Amazon (aws) to conduct the experiment.
My problem is, however, that I have to test a non-compression against row-compression in DB2 and to do that I’ve created a bsh file that run those experiments. But when I reach to my compression part I get the error ”Transaction log is full”; and no matter how low I set the inserts for it is complaining about my transaction log.
I’ve scouted Google for a day now trying to find some way to flush / clear the log or just get rit of it, i don’t need it. I’ve tried to increase the size but nothing has helped.
Please, I hope someone has an answer to solve this frustrating problem
Thanks

There is no need to "clear the log" in DB2. When a transaction is rolled back, DB2 releases the log space used by the transaction.
If you've increased the log size and it has not helped, please post more information about what you're trying to do.
No need of restarting. Just try to force the applications using DB2 force applications all.
Increase the Actie Log File Size and try to force application connections and terminate the connections.
Try to run the job now.
db2 force applications all
db2 update db cfg for sample using logfilsiz 5125
db2 force applications all
db2 terminate
db2 connect to sample
Run your job and monitor.
Just restart the instance, it would release the pending logs and you should be fine
