DB2 for z/OS Visual Explain: Fail to load JDBC driver

bruce_milner

I am having a problem using DB2 for z/OS Visual Explain V8 for Windows.
The error message is: Fail to load JDBC driver
COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver

I have un-installed/re-installed DB Connect Client and Visual Explain
client several times. I have checked our paths, and searched IBM's site
and Google for more information. The JDBC driver above is on all the
PCs in the correct .ZIP file.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem and found a solution?

We opened up a ticket with IBM and here is their solution, which is
working fine.
Please make sure the value of the DB2TEMPDIR windows environment
variable ends with a slash, e.g. C:\Program Files\SQLLIB\

For DB2 UDB V7.x this slash does not exist, but for V8 UDB it does.
Currently the driver will not load if there is no slash following
SQLLIB. The next VE fixpack has the fix for this.
