Unable to set DB2 as a source in a Compose project

ThiebaudS — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 20:49:07 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to do the following :

DB2 database > Qlik Replicate > Redshift Landing > Qlik Compose > DataWarehouse and DataMart in Redshift.

I'm using Qlik Replicate/Compose 6.6, and my DB2 instance is in 11.1.

The first part, with Replicate, is working well. The CDC task is running and I have real time data in my Redshift Landing.

My issue is on Compose side.

When I try to add the DB2 source to be able to discover the schema from the source, I always receive the error below:

"SYS,GENERAL_EXCEPTION,ERROR [08001] [IBM][CLI Driver] SQL1013N The database alias name or database name " " could not be found. SQLSTATE=42705<p>" (see screenshot)

I do specify a database name in the "database name" field, and I'm able to retrieve and select the schema, so I really don't understand this error...

On my Compose server (windows), I've tried a lot of things like cataloging the DB2 database, adding the connection to the ODBC data sources, but it changed nothing.

If anyone can help I would be grateful.

Thanks

Best regards,

Thiebaud

Hi Thiebaud,

What DB2 database are you trying to connect to? That is, which DB2 family member (DB2 for z/os, DB2 for iSeries, DB2 for LUW) and which version.

Thanks,

Tzachi

Hi @ThiebaudS ,

The version seems fine. Did you open a support ticket? It sounds like some environment issue that our support could help with.

Hi,

I didn't opened a support ticket as I don't have any Attunity support account.

I'm just a partner testing the product in order to present it to our customers.

Best regards,

Thiebaud
