RESOLVED: Cannot config database using Setup Wizard


Thomas Loeber (62237750) | asked Sep 29 '11, 7:32 a.m.

Running the setup wizard for 3.0.1 I get this error on the Configure Database step ...
Invalid database URL syntax: jdbc:db2://thlrational.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com:50000/JTS:user=db2admin;password={password}. ERRORCODE=-4461, SQLSTATE=42815

I'm using this syntax for the JDBC Location
//thlrational.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com:50000/JTS:user=db2admin;password={password}

I'm running the setup wizard from a different host then the server and db2 is installed on the same host (thlrational.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com) as the JTS server.
Whats wrong with the JDBC Location syntax I'm using.

I left off the ending ";". This now works just fine

I assume you meant that the problem is that you left off the trailing semi-colon and after adding it, the problem is fixed.

That's right Bo. Once I attached the semi-colon all was well. Thanks for asking.

Hi Thomas

Interesting, I also had the same problems but fixed it by ADDING a ";"

Tried to rule out a wrong password senario; And tried a different user and it worked. Later realized the password itself has } closing bracket. And because the connection string has {password} looks like it is took the wrong bracket }. In another scenario, password had ; semicolon that conflicts with the delimiter and took the wrong semicolon as a the delimiter.
