Description
Cannot connect to the database after the computer disk was replaced.
It is possible to connect to the database with other tools and from other computers.
To reinstall Toad or catalog the database manually does not help.
The error Toad shows is "ERROR - no error information available".
The error in the db2diag.log is :
"FUNCTION: DB2 Common, Cryptography, cryptDynamicLoadGSKitCrypto, probe:998
MESSAGE : ECF=0x9000002F=-1879048145=ECF_FILE_DEVICE_UNAVAILABLE
The device is unavailable or uncapable of serving the request
DATA #1 : unsigned integer, 4 bytes"
The old disk label was E:. Now E is the CD driver. -
Cause
Toad reads the Environment variable PATH to look for the client and there was a reference to the old E drive there -
Resolution
RESOLUTION
The Environment variable PATH had one reference to the old E:\ drive.
After removing this reference , it was possible to connect to the database again.
