PM42739: CEI - EXCEPTION WHEN USING MICROSOFT SQL SERVER JDBC DRIVER "SQLJDBC.JAR" WITH JRE 1.6

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

The use of Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver classes existing
in "sqljdbc.jar" in Common Event Infrastructure (CEI)
configuration with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.6
leads to the following error:
Could not invoke an operation on object:
WebSphere:name=DataSourceCfgHelper,process=nodeagent,platform=dy
namicproxy,node=<node name>,version=<product
version>,type=DataSourceCfgHelper,mbeanIdentifier=DataSourceCfgH
elper,cell=<cell name>,spec=1.0 because of an mbean exception:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) version 1.6 is not supported by this driver.
Use the sqljdbc4.jar class library, which provides support for
JDBC 4.0.

In order to support Microsoft SQL Server JDBC 3.0 driver
(sqljdbc4.jar), the parameter jdbcDriverVersion has been added
for the command configEventServiceSQLServerDB.
The parameter can be specified only when Microsoft JDBC driver
is used (the parameter jdbcProviderType has the value
"microsoftjdbc", which is the default value). In this case,
the following values are accepted for the parameter
jdbcDriverVersion:
- "1.2", the default value, configures CEI to use the classes
in sqljdbc.jar
- "2.0" configures CEI to use the classes in sqljdbc4.jar
- "3.0" configures CEI to use the classes in sqljdbc4.jar
For other values of the parameter the command
configEventServiceSQLServerDB returns an exception.
If the parameter jdbcDriverVersion is specified and the
jdbcProviderType is not "microsoftjdbc" the command
configEventServiceSQLServerDB returns also an exception.

****************************************************************
If Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) application is configured
with "configEventServiceSQLServerDB" administrative command,
the application is configured to use Microsoft SQL Server JDBC
driver version 1.2 (sqljdbc.jar).
In this configuration, the following error might be received:
Could not invoke an operation on object:
WebSphere:name=DataSourceCfgHelper,process=nodeagent,platform=dy
namicproxy,node=<node name>,version=<product
version>,type=DataSourceCfgHelper,mbeanIdentifier=DataSourceCfgH
elper,cell=<cell name>,spec=1.0 because of an mbean exception:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) version 1.6 is not supported by this driver.
Use the sqljdbc4.jar class library, which provides support for
JDBC 4.0.
The text of the error message explains the cause of the
problem: the driver does not support Software Development Kit
(SDK) version 1.6.

Problem conclusion

In order to support Microsoft SQL Server JDBC drivers version
2.0 and 3.0 (that are packaged in "sqljdbc4.jar"), a new
parameter ("jdbcDriverVersion") was added to the
administrative task configEventServiceSQLServerDB.

The parameter can be specified only when Microsoft SQL Server
JDBC driver is used (the parameter "jdbcProviderType" has the
value "microsoftjdbc", which is the default value).

The following values are accepted for the parameter
"jdbcDriverVersion":
- "1.2", the default value, configures CEI to use the classes
in "sqljdbc.jar";
- "2.0" configures CEI to use the classes in "sqljdbc4.jar";
- "3.0" configures CEI to use the classes in "sqljdbc4.jar".

For other values of the parameter "jdbcDriverVersion" the
command configEventServiceSQLServerDB returns an exception.
If the parameter "jdbcDriverVersion" is specified but the
"jdbcProviderType" is not "microsoftjdbc" the command
configEventServiceSQLServerDB also returns an exception.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.21.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
