Question

I’m develloping a web application over Play Framework 2.0.

Since I need to access a DB2 database, I added the following lines to my application’s application.conf file:

db.mydb.driver=com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver
db.mydb.url="jdbc:db2://host:port/databaseName"
db.mydb.user=user
db.mydb.password=pass
db.mydb.jndiName=databaseName

I connected sucessfully to this DB but got the following exceptions:

[info] play - datasource [jdbc:db2://host:port/databaseName] bound to JNDI as databaseName
[info] play - database [databaseName] connected at jdbc:db2://host:port/databaseName
[warn] application - play_evolutions table already existed
[error] application -

In order to solve this I tried to disable Evolutions setting the following line in application.conf file:

evolutions=disabled
evolutions.enable=false

But I am allways getting the above exceptions.

Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks

Answer 1

A DB2 -204 SQLCODE means:

The object identified by name is not defined in the DB2® subsystem. This SQLCODE can be generated for any type of DB2 object.

…

Verify that the object name was correctly specified in the SQL statement, including any required qualifiers. If it is correct, ensure that the object exists in the system before resubmitting the statement.

It would seem the table DB2ADMIN.PLAY_EVOLUTIONS does not exist. If it should exist, try connecting to the database using a SQL client and execute select * from DB2ADMIN.PLAY_EVOLUTIONS with ur for read only; to verify the table does exist.

Also, you probably want to use evolution=disabled instead of evolutions=disabled (see the Play Git commit providing a way to disable EvolutionPlugin through configuratio…) in your application.conf file.
