I am getting the following error trying to connect to a local DB2 instance

  • 0

I am getting the following error trying to connect to a local DB2 instance with Entity Framework using Visual Studio 2010:

SQL1159 Initialization error with DB2 .Net Data Provider, reason code
7, tokens 9.7.3.DEF.2, SOFTWARE\IBM\DB2\InstalledCopies

I have tried to do some research and gotten nowhere, but I assume there is an issue with the DB2 Provider that I am using (I got the newest from IBM). I am able to hit the data if I use IBM.DB2.Data Namespace using the dll from IBM, but I cant hit the database using the Entity Model Wizard.

I dont have a problem hitting this DB from Visual Studio 2008, do I need to download something else other than what I have?

My DB2 Control Center says

DB2 administration tools level:
Product identifier SQL09070

Level identifier 08010107

Level DB2 v9.7.0.441

Build level s090521

PTF NT3297

Thanks for any help

    Unless something changed recently, that last I remember you can’t use the entity framework directly with the IBM drivers. You need to write the interface yourself to get this to work. As I said, this is what my research turned up a couple months ago when I was researching this.
