The error message from the Status bar or the error ribbon at the bottom of Toad does not show or appear in the Results window or Output window. It is blank or empty.
How to see the full and complete error message in the Results window or Output window?
Query or script errors are also placed or should appear in the “Results” window | “Messages” Tab and the “Output” window (View menu | “Output”). If any type of error does not appear in those windows, perform a reset of the Toad user files.
1) Fully exit Toad for DB2.
2) Go to:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR_USER>\Application Data\Quest Software\
Vista or 7: C:\Users\<YOUR_USER>\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\
3) Rename the “Toad for DB2 x.x” folder to “Toad for DB2 x.x OLD” (where “x.x” is the version number).
4) Start Toad for DB2.
5) When asked if you want to ‘Migrate’ settings from a previous version, choose “CANCEL”.
6) Start Toad for DB2 again and re-test the issue.
NOTE: If you would like to transfer back your Saved Connections in the Toad log-in screen, see the steps below. IMPORTANT: Re-test the issue first before performing these steps.
1) Fully exit Toad again.
2) Go to the OLD “Toad for DB2 x.x OLD” folder you renamed in Step 3 above.
3) Perform a Copy on the “Connections.xml” file (make a backup of this file just in case of errors).
4) Go to the NEW “Toad for DB2 x.x” folder that was just created by Toad.
5) Paste the “Connections.xml” file there.
6) Start Toad and you should now have your previous Saved Connections in the log-in screen.
