Column Analysis does not start on Infosphere Information Server upgraded to version 11.7.1.1 SP2 with WebSphere Liberty on DB2 Repository

Troubleshooting


Problem

Column analysis jobs remain in queue and are not processed after upgrading an existing Infosphere Information Server with WebSphere Liberty on a DB2 repository to version 11.7.1.1 SP2.

Symptom

Column analysis stays in state "In queue"  forever. The WebSphere log shows that the analysis was submitted, and the ODFAdmin tool shows that the job was submitted too, but the analysis never starts.

Cause

The latest DB2 JDBC driver requires two additional mandatory parameters that are not present in the IADB configuration file of the upgraded machine.

Environment

All operating systems, InfoSphere Information Server with WebSphere Liberty on a DB2 repository, upgraded to version 11.7.1.1 SP2.

Resolving The Problem

On the system where WebSphere Liberty is installed, please navigate to <InformationServer_Install_Location>/IBM/InformationServer/wlp/usr/servers/iis/iadb.dataSources.xml and look at the entry for properties.db2.jcc. You should see the following:
<properties.db2.jcc databaseName="${ia.db.name}" portNumber="${ia.db.port}" driverType="4"
serverName="${ia.db.hostname}" password="${ia.db.password}" user="${ia.db.username}" />
Add the two parameters at the end of the element :
<properties.db2.jcc databaseName="${ia.db.name}" portNumber="${ia.db.port}" driverType="4"
serverName="${ia.db.hostname}" password="${ia.db.password}" user="${ia.db.username}" useJDBC4DataType="2" useJDBC4ColumnNameAndLabelSemantics="2" />
