SQLSTATE=08S01

[mike hsieh]

HI,
COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Exception: [IBM][JDBC Driver] CLI0616E Error opening socket. SQLSTATE=08S01
I have a problem to get the connection from the mainframe db2.
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver").newInstance();
Connection db2conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc b2://gateway_host_ip_address ort/database");
I am running my java ap on NT box and I have the db2java.zip in my classpath.
What else I can do to get this working
Thanks

try changing
"jdbc:Db2://gateway_host_ip_address:port/database"
to
"jdbc:Db2://gateway_host_ip_address:port:database"
not sure where your username and password are though?

I change it to
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc b2://gateway_host_ip_address ort atabase",userid,password);
but I still got the same error, especially
Error opening socket.
What else I can do.
Do I have to configure the database alias name at my local PC?

Thanks

make sure that
1. the database is running AND listening to the port specified
2. you have permissions to connect to the database
3. you don't have any firewall issues that may be interfering with your connection.
