The IBM DB2 for iSeries source endpoint occasionally encounters an error during the CDC stage. This issue appears to be linked to the presence of the IBM i Access ODBC Driver versions 7.1.26 and 7.1.27.
The error message in task log file:
[SOURCE_CAPTURE ]E: Error parsing [1020109] (db2i_endpoint_capture.c:652)
The issue specifically arises during the CDC stage; however, the Full Load stage operates smoothly without any complications.
Resolution:
As a workaround please downgrade IBM i Access ODBC client from versions '07.01.027'/'07.01.026' to '07.01.025'
The most recent version of IBM i Access ODBC Client is '07.01.027' as of today. For compatibility reasons, it's advisable to revert to version '07.01.025', as '07.01.026' exhibits the same issue.
Various factors can contribute to encountering the 'Error parsing' message, including:
• DB2i ODBC Version '07.01.027' (as described in this article)
• In a single task, the total number of captured tables exceeds 300
• The source table is created by DDS
• Garbage data in table
• Special characters in table object identifier (table name, or column name)
If you continue to encounter the error after switching to '07.01.025', please reach out to Qlik Support for further assistance.
Cause:
The behavior of the IBM DB2i ODBC Versions '07.01.026' & '07.01.027' differ slightly from that of '07.01.025'. In certain scenarios, it may return incorrect column lengths
