RE: Unfamiliar SQLCODE values using JDBC with ....

Posted By: Mitchell, Jeffrey J.

In Response To: Re: Unfamiliar SQLCODE values using JDBC with Info (Fernando Nunes)

The confusing thing about this is that the procedure never really executes. We have "logging" in the procedures - start/stop times, parameters passed in, return string, etc. Other types of errors are showing up in the logging tables, but these three errors do not show up in the logging tables. We think it's coming from jdbc on the client side, but their logging isn't real detailed. Without more detailed logging (not easy to do), it's a bit difficult to pinpoint what's causing the problem.

Subject: Re: Unfamiliar SQLCODE values using JDBC with .... [34677]

The errors are not necessarily strange...:
finderr -23103
-23103 Code-set conversion function failed due to an illegal sequence or invalid value.

Illegal or invalid characters occur in the character string. The program could not execute the code-set conversion on the characters that this string contains. Reexamine the input string for illegal or invalid characters and reexecute the program.

A common cause for this is the existence of characters inside the database which are not acceptable in the database codeset. You'd need to identify the table and try to unload it using DB_LOCALE != CLIENT_LOCALE. This will make the client try the conversion and in that case, if there's an invalid character you'll see the error. The reason for that to happen is a mix of
factors: Informix bugs, bad planning and usually mixing windows characters with 8859-1 codeset

finderr -79716
-79716 System or internal error.

An operating or runtime system error or a driver internal error occurred.

The accompanying message describes the problem.

One of my "favorites". Mostly seen with J2EE application servers, and a firewall between the server and the application server. When the connections stay idle for too long, the firewall sees no traffic and decides to close the connection. Problem is, and don't ask me why, the sockets endpoints (at least on the app server side) never notice that. And when the application asks for a connection (getConnection()) the application server provides one for which the socket reference at the OS level is not open anymore. There are two solutions for that:
1- Fix the firewall rules and/or the way it kills the connections
2- Activate the TCP keepalive. From the Informix perspective it usually is enough to add "k=1" in the options field of the $INFORMIXSQLHOSTS used by the listener. But then you need to alter the OS TCP keepalive parameters.
The defaults are usually 2H which is useless in most cases as people tend to trigger the firewall rules at 1H or so.
I plan to write an blog post on this soon...

finderr -79887
-79887 Parameter name not found.

A parameter name is not found in the argument names of the specified stored procedure. Either one of the parameter names is not valid or the stored procedure name is incorrect.

Correct the parameter or procedure name and run the procedure again.

This one suggests something doesn't match between the procedure definition and the calling code. Is that possible?
