[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-2041?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Jim Riley commented on TEIIDDES-2041: ------------------------------------- I really don't know where Teiid Designer stops and eclipse starts. So it could be an eclipse Issue. My steps were to open Teiid Designer. Under the Guides Panel --> Action Sets --> Model JDBC Source I selected "Create JDBC connection". A "New Connection Profile" is displayed and I selected "Generic JDBC". On the next panel I picked the driver that I setup. That profile included the DB2 net driver jar and license jar: "db2jcc.jar" and "db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar" using the driver class "com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver". Since you used db2jcc4.jar, I added another profile using "db2jcc4.jar" and "db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar". (FYI, Both configurations successfully work with SQLSquirrel and RAD). The comparing the results, the problem appears consistent: Could not connect to DMS. Error creating SQL Model Connection connection to DMS.

I did not mention, the database I am connection to is "DB2 v9.5.0.3" hosted on AIX. Changing to the Database Development perspective, it produces the same error when I try to connect. Using the Database Development perspective in RAD, I connect successfully. The two environments differ. Most noticeably, (1) the base versions of eclipse differ and (2) One uses IBMs JVM and for Teiid I used Oracle's 1.7. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
