Issue/Introduction

Description:

If you pass an invalid password to an AS400 database via a JDBC driver, a dialog box appears saying an invalid password was given. This dialog box is behind the scenes in an ITPAM process so the process will sit waiting for the user to click ok on a dialog that they cannot see.

Solution:

To avoid this hanging ITPAM process when an invalid password is given, add the option "prompt=false" to the JDBC URL in the JDBC operator.
