Sometimes cannot connect to a remote DB2 database


I'm having some issues when trying to connect to a remote DB2 database. The strange thing here is that sometimes it's OK but sometimes not, i.e. I cannot always reproduce this behaviour.

The error is the following:

Caused by: com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.SqlNonTransientConnectionException: [jcc][t4][10380][11951][3.64.114] Required property "<DB_NAME>" is unknown host. ERRORCODE=-4222, SQLSTATE=08001

Where DB_NAME is the name of my host. The address can be resolved always using ping and nslookup. As I said, this only occurs from time to time. Does anyone know this issue? Maybe some configuration restriction on the number of active connections or X connections in a time bucket policy?


Solution

  • Probably, there are network issues that prevents the connection between the application (Java) and the database server, thus the database server cannot be resolved.

    Please check the network to find errors.
