APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• SYSPLEX to DB2 for z/OS is automatically enabled on the DB2 clie
  nt.   To currently disable SYSPLEX support you would need to cat
  alog a DCS database in the DCS directory, and you would need to
  ensure the SYSPLEX DCS parameter is NOT specified.
  .
  When using a direct connection to DB2 for z/OS without a DCS dir
  ectory (for example if you are using the IBM DB2 ODBC/CLI DRIVER
  ), then there is currently no way of disabling this support.
  This APAR will create a new CLI keyword that can be added to the
  connection string of the CLI application to help disable client-
  side SYSPLEX support.
  

Local fix

• Catalog a DCS directory without specifying SYSPLEX as a DCS para
  meter.   If using a direct connection to DB2 for z/OS, then chan
  ge that to a datasource connection if possible.
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:  CLI applications.
  Problem Description:  A new CLI keyword was added to disable
  SYSPLEX support without relying on the DCS directory.
  Problem Summary:  The CLI keyword/value pair:
  DISABLESYSPLEX=TRUE or the connection attribute
  SQL_ATTR_DISABLE_SYSPLEX=1 can be used to disable sysplex
  support.
  

Problem conclusion

• First fixed in DB2 UDB Version 9.5, Fixpak 3
  

Temporary fix
