Issue/Introduction

PROBLEM:

The CA SSO/Siteminder Policy Server is configured to use a DB2 Database as a Data Store (Policy Store, User Store, Session Store, Audit Store).  The SMPS.logs show the following error when attempting to access the DB2 Data Store:

[HSTMT.cpp:241][CHSTMT::Error][ERROR][sm-xpsxps-00810] Native Diagnostic: 22008:0 [DataDirect][ODBC DB2 Wire Protocol driver]Datetime field overflow. Error in parameter 1. 

 

The CA SSO/Siteminder Policy Server uses the 'Siteminder/SSO DB2 Wire Protocol" ODBC driver.  This is a a 3rd party ODBC driver bundled with the policy Server allowing unification and simplification of cross-platform development efforts.  The Data Direct Wire Protocol Driver is developed by Progress.

SOLUTION:

Configure the DB2 Data Source with the registry key "WorkArounds2=2".  Enabling this option causes the driver to ignore the ColumnSize/DecimalDigits specified by the application and use the database defaults instead.

1) Launch "regedit"

2) In regedit, browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBC.INI\datasource

3) Select the DSN of the DB2 ODBC connection you want to modify

4) Add a new key as a 'String Value'

5) Name the new key "WorkArounds2"

6) Set the Value of 'WorkArounds2' to "2"   [Workarounds2=2]
