JR43526 EngMonApp error: This column type is not currently supported by this driver DETAILS: EngMonApp failed when connecting to Oracle database 11.2.0.2. Oracle 11.2.0.2 changed default XMLTYPE storage type from CLOB to binary. The branded Progress DataDirect JDBC driver does not support XMLTYPE binary storage. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you have not got a previously created a DSODB repository, then the update is complete after the standard patch install and you should follow the instructions in the README or readme.txt file in the directory: .../IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSODB/scripts/Oracle11g to create your new DSODB repository. If you have an existing DSODB repository then there is a manual step that must be performed before the patch is effective. The patch requires an update to the operations database schema, where the storage type of XMLTYPE columns must be modified. Before running this manual step you should make sure DSAppWatcher is not running, by either stopping the DataStage AppWatcher service on windows or running: .../IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSODB/bin/DSAppWatcher.sh -stop on unix as the datastage administration user (e.g. dsadm). There are two options for the manual step: Option 1 - Drop and re-create the schema (recommended) You must first drop the existing DSODB schema, and then re-create it using the patched files. The instructions to follow in order to drop and to re-create the DSODB database are described in the README or readme.txt file in the directory: .../IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSODB/scripts/Oracle11g If you still have the scripts that you generated when creating the DSODB repository originally, then you can use these to drop the existing repository first. If you do not have those scripts then when you run the generate_ddl script, you must specify the same arguments as when creating the original DSODB repository, so that the drop scripts will drop that original repository. For example, if the original DSODB repository was created as a new database, with the 'new' argument to generate_dll, you must include the 'new' argument in order to generate appropriate drop scripts. Option 2 - Alter the existing schema Alternatively you could modify the DSODB schema in-place. In order to do this you should run the patched script file alter_dsodb_xmltype_columns.sql found in .../IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSODB/scripts/Oracle11g Enter the command: sqlplus oracle_system_user/oracle_system_password@database_service_name @alter_dsodb_xmltype_columns.sql Example: sqlplus system/manager@ORCL @alter_dsodb_xmltype_columns.sql After performing either of the manual steps, you should restart AppWatcher by starting the DataStage AppWatcher service on windows or running: .../IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSODB/bin/DSAppWatcher.sh -start on unix as the datastage administration user (e.g. dsadm).
