Not sure if iReport 3.7.5 is the same as 5.6.0 but you need to upload the jar drivers in iReports. Tools - Options, Then under classpath tab upload the db2jcc.jar and the db2jcc_license_cu.jar. For you database connection click the button for a new connection and type a name for it, then type in com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver in JDBC Driver, for JDBC URL use jdbc:db2://{IP or hostname of server}:50000/{Database name} then enter your username and password and hit test. Should work.You should be able to find the jar files under {installation directory}/IBM/SQLLIB/java
Hi Joel,
I tried as it is like you said in previous also. But still iam unable to connect to DB2 database. I got error like COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver class not found. I have added db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cu.jar and db2java.jar files in ireport classpath(tools--->classpath).
I have also added db2java.jar file in ireport services under(Window menu) it is loading this class COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver.
But ireport was unable to load this class.
You can highlight the default IBM JDBC driver and then paste in com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver to change it to the right one. Also you don't need the db2java.jar that is the older version. Then test again.
Hi Joel,
Issue resolved. I have removed db2java.jar and added only db2jcc, db2jcc_license_cu jars and connection was successful.
Thank you.
