When I call a SQL statement via JDBC on the DB2 and the statement fails, I catch an SQLException with the following message text:
com.ibm.db2.jcc.a.nn: DB2 SQL Error: SQLCODE=-206, SQLSTATE=42703,
SQLERRMC=O.METADATENSATZ, DRIVER=3.52.95
I tried an automatic translation of the message according to the error list published by IBM, but there are placeholders inside the messages referencing other elements of the exception.
While looking for these elements inside the exception, I found the DB2ExceptionFormatter
and tried to use it to access the missing elements.
But here I stopped, because the DB2ExceptionFormatter
gave me a clue:
Error occurred while trying to obtain message text from server. Only message tokens are available.
So my question is: What do I have to configure to get the correct messages from the DB2 server?
If I can get a human readable message from the server, I could use it directly and wouldn't have to translate it by myself.
