and

The issue is in the way the variable DB2Z_ABSPATH is set. This variable is meant to be an absolute path not a class path. So you need it to be

DB2Z_ABSPATH=c:\Jts\JazzTeamServer\db2z.

The system will then look in the the db2z for the relevant jar files. The word location in the above message means directory, not jar file.

The db2z directory is the default directory for finding the driver jar files. So in this case, you don't need to set the variable at all. The code below in server.startup.bat will set the variable for you.

if "%DB2Z_ABSPATH%"=="" goto :default_db2z
set DB2Z_JDBC=%DB2Z_ABSPATH%
goto :after_db2z
:default_db2z
set DB2Z_JDBC=%START_DIR%\db2z
:after_db2z
