Good Morning,
I'm able to successfully connect via the built-in DB2 connector (using Microsoft driver, not IBM, and doing Import, not direct Query) to several files on our "DB2 server:Port;database" = "SYSB:446;SYSB". However, some files throw an error:
DataSource.Error: Microsoft Db2 Client: Trigger program or external routine detected an error. SQLSTATE=38501 SQLCODE=-443 SQLSTATE=HY000 SQLCODE=-343
Details:
DataSourceKind=DB2
DataSourcePath=sysb:446;SYSB
Message=Trigger program or external routine detected an error. SQLSTATE=38501 SQLCODE=-443 SQLSTATE=HY000 SQLCODE=-343
ErrorCode=0
Has anyone run across this particular error having to do with "Trigger program or external routine"? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much...
Dave
