Hi Daniel

I have the same problem on OSX 10.6.8

I fixed it creating a symlink to the OSX Java home and now db2fs works.

ln -s /Library/Java/Home ~/sqllib/java/jdk64/jre

Regards

Roberto

Hi Antonio,

Great blog.

I seem to be running into Stefan’s problem above (your reply 23 Mar 10:13). My OS is OS X 10.6. I have run (per your suggestion):

db2 update dbm cfg using JDK_PATH /Library/Java/Home

but I get this error when running db2fs:

sh: /Library/Java/Home/jre/bin/java: No such file or directory DB2JAVIT : RC = 127

The problem is that my Java is located in /Library/Java/Home/jre/bin/java (i.e. I don’t have the ‘jre’ bit).

How could I correct that?

Thanks,

Daniel.

Hi, db2 is up and running …

Now I tried to install DBD::DB2 for perl DBI (DBI already installed).

As I have to sudo cpan, db2_home etc is not defined.

Did s.o. get DBD::DB2 running on Mac OS X ?

Hi Stefan, try the following:

db2 get dbm cfg |grep JDK

If it's not pointing in the right place, you can set it with:

db2 update dbm cfg using JDK_PATH your/jdk/path

For example, mine is set for:

/Users/db2inst1/sqllib/java/jdk64

Hi Stefan, do you have Java installed in that specified path? Did you get the memory error after changing the kernel parameters and rebooting?

What happens after install is:

Colibri:exp ssc$ . $HOME/sqllib/db2profile
Colibri:exp ssc$
Colibri:exp ssc$ db2fs
sh: /Users/ssc/sqllib/java/jdk64/jre/bin/java: No such file or directory DB2JAVIT : RC = 127
Colibri:exp ssc$ db2start
SQL1220N The database manager shared memory set cannot be allocated.
