Specific Error 10

[Paul Stevens]

We are upgrading from WAS 3.5 to 4.0. We are getting a specific error 10 trying to start WAS. The WAS DB does exist and the ID/Password are fine.
Here is a part of the Tracefile:

hi,
Main reason for getting this error is ,WAS is not able to connect to DB. It seems u r using db2 with this.Make sure u have db2java.zip and runtime.zip set in classpath,as from frm error it seems,there is a problem in loading loading db2 drivers.Check this pls.
Pls do update on this.

hi ,
This is from Redbook SG246176.pdf (page number 1029).

Check for an error message in <WAS_HOME>/logs/tracefile similar to:
[02.02.22 09:34:52:805 EST] 15b92ab2 AdminServer F ADMS0007E: Could notload database driver COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2ConnectionPoolDataSource
This error occurs when you are not using the correct JDBC driver level.

I hope abv will help.

Got rid of the error. There was an old db2java.zip file in the WebSPhere\lib directory.
