Description

Description:
When using the Data Source Explorer in TIBCO Business Studio to create a connection to a DB2 database higher than DB2 9.5, the Schemas section cannot be expanded.
Symptoms:
If you are attempting to model a Database Service Task, the Data Source Explorer can be used to select your stored procedure and auto-populate the Parameters section of the call.  If you attempt to make a connection to a DB2 database higher than version 9.5, the Schemas section can not be expanded in order to select a stored procedure.

Cause:
The DTP drivers within TIBCO Business Studio 3.5.2 (Eclipse Ganymede version 3.4.2) will not work with any version of DB2 greater than 9.5. This was resolved in the 1.11.2 version of the DTP drivers where the IBM "enablement" plugins (org.eclipse.datatools.enablement.ibm.xxx) were reworked to include a catalog loader that is specific to DB2 for LUW. Previously it was using the default (Derby) catalog loader, which does not work for DB2 releases after v9.5.

Resolution

The DTP 1.11.2 drivers are only compatible with Eclipse Indigo version 3.7.2 and up which means they can not be loaded into TIBCO Business Studio 3.5.2. In order to create Database Service Tasks when using a DB2 version higher than 9.5, all the Parameter name/field values will need to be manually created and the participant will need to be manually mapped to an existing System/JDBC resource. At the time of this writing (November 2015), there are no near term plans to release a version of the TIBCO Business Studio iProcess Add-in that supports a newer version of Eclipse. Until such a release is available, the workaround will need to be used to create Database Service Tasks.

Issue/Introduction

When using the Data Source Explorer in TIBCO Business Studio to create a connection to a DB2 database higher than DB2 9.5, the Schemas section cannot be expanded.
