Does Topology require Datacom or Datacom/AD?

Products

• Topology

Issue/Introduction

The Topology STC fails at startup with RC=100.
Job log shows the API Server fails during initialization with java.sql.SQLException – Connection refused while attempting to connect to Datacom.

Cause

Old release of Topology being used

Resolution

The fact that Datacom is being required means that this is a very old version of the Topology code. It now uses SQLite that comes embedded in the Topology installation (since level set 1.0.07 PTF LU04683). From New Features documentation:

Level Set 1.0.07 PTF (LU04683)

Datacom support has ended. SQLite has been introduced and is now the supported database. You can now use Mainframe Topology with no need of configuring the database.
