Issues with RRDI 2.0 setup on AIX


Murali Dhandapani (11698) | asked Jul 30 '12, 10:32 p.m.
I could deploy RRDI 2.0 successfully on AIX. When I perform the RRDI 2.0 setup at stage 6 ( Build and Deploy Reporting Components) I get the following database error.

CRRRA3018E: The RIDW data source connection in Cognos failed to connect. Check if the database client is installed correctly or additional configurations are needed.

A warning occurred while deploying the reporting components.
  • Add Rational Reporting style files to the reporting components
  • Package the reporting components as an EAR file
  • Update the report server configuration
  • Deploy the EAR file to the specified application server
  • Wait for the report server to initialize and set the Rational Reporting style

I am deploying RRDI 2.0 on single server and have installed  DB2 9.7 ESE , DB2 9.7 client. Following are the installation logs. What else is needed to resolve the issue.
?

The main reason of that warning message is that the DB2 32 bits client ODBC driver file can not be found in the Websphere server LIBPATH environment in the AIX. You should add the DB2 32 bits client lib path to the LIBPATH environment in the [profile name]/bin/startServer.sh file.

I get this error while running the rrdi setup...  so when do we need to update the path.... is it before running RRDI 2.- setup..

Need some clarity on this.

I completed the RRDI 2.0 setup by clicking Finish with the above warning.

Now,

I ran bash-3.00# source /home/db2inst2/sqllib/db2profile

and also set the following path.

bash-3.00# export LIBPATH=$LIBPATH:/home/db2inst2/sqllib/lib32
bash-3.00# echo $LIBPATH
/usr/lib:/lib:/home/db2inst2/sqllib/lib64:/home/db2inst2/sqllib/lib32


Stopped RRDI2.0 WAS profile

./stopServer.sh RationalReportingServer
and started again
 ./startServer.sh RationalReportingServer

And now when I tested the Data Source Connections, it succeeded without any issues  :)

Thanks a lot yaqiang . You are a Don!!.. :)

Would you mind to update solving method for this issue, if it's running on windows ??
Since I have the same problem , but It happened in Windows OS.

Thanks and Regards,

I used AIX 64bit and DB2 64 bit ESE. But RRDI required 32 DB2 client.

I installed 32 bit DB2 client and set the environment with 32bit path as above.

Later started RRDI.. things worked. Nothing much done other than this.

Recently I noticed this statement in RRDI Installation :

Note: WebSphere Application Server must be installed prior to running this setup. If you install the 32 bits Rational Reporting, please use the 32 bits WebSphere Application Server. If you install the 64 bits Rational Reporting, please use the 64 bits WebSphere Appilcation Server.

SO, I thought it's best to use the same environment for both.
