PRSQL9012027: DB-LIBRARY Returns Incorrect Error Level ID Number: Q67892

1.10 OS/2 buglist1.10 fixlist1.12

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: PRSQL9012027

SYMPTOMS When attempting to open a connection to a SQL Server that does not exist, the DB-LIBRARY error handler returns a severity level of “EXCONSISTENCY, internal software error - notify customer support.” It should return “EXCOMM, Failure in communication with Server - the DBPROCESS is dead.”

Similarly, when a query to a server that does exist exceeds its timeout period, a severity level of EXCOMM will be returned rather than a security level of EXTIME. In this case, the DBPROCESS is still alive and subsequent queries can still be sent to the server.

RESOLUTION Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in DB-LIBRARY (dblib) version 1.10. This problem has been corrected in an updated version of dblibs that are available from Microsoft Product Support Services. For more information, contact your authorized network specialist.
