Hi,
I checked that ODBC version and it is 5.01.00.00.
If you still have my first email with code, there
I am using your code as it is where the line was
return DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:tsm", "admin",

"admin");  I gave System.out statements in all

steps and found that beyond this line it does not proceed.
Here I changed the code to get the actual return value for
the Connection by putting it inside try block.  There is
no exception in this step but the Connection object is null.
Though why the  Session established with server TSM_SERVER1
message seen is not clear.  Somewhere during Connection
it fails.  Thats what I found by the System.out statements.
I will do your other suggestions.  Thanks for such detailed
study of the problem.

> My ODBC version is 3.51

3.51 is the version of Microsoft ODBC support you have installed on your
system. What I am asking about is the version of TSM ODBC driver you have
installed. If you run the ODBC Data Source Administrator (odbcad32.exe),
click on the "Drivers" tab, locate the "TSM ODBC Driver" (probably near
the bottom of the list) and look at the "Version" column, you will see the
version number of the TSM ODBC driver.

You are definitely connecting with the TSM server, so the connection
portion of the code is fine. Note the output you showed me earlier:

>Session established with server TSM_SERVER1: Windows
>   Server Version 5, Release 1, Level 0.0
>   Server date/time: 10/29/2002 15:25:28  Last access: 10/29/2002

>TSM: There is no information about this table.

The "Session established with server" messages tell me that you are
clearly connecting with the TSM server. You can watch this happen by
running the Admin command line interfact in console mode. Start the Admin
CLI like this:

   dsmadmc -console

Enter your admin ID and password. Then when activity happens on your TSM
server, you will see it in the Admin console. Run your Java code and watch
the ODBC driver "talk" to the TSM server.

The message "TSM: There is no information about this table" is issued by
the TSM ODBC driver from either SQLDescribeCol() or SQLColAttribute(). My
guess is that it is coming from SQLColAttribute(), which was broken in
earlier versions of the TSM ODBC driver. Which is one reason I recommend
that you install 5.1.5, just to eliminate the driver from the problem.

User DSN information is stored in the registry, in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI. System DSN info looks like user
DSN info, except system DSNs are stored in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI. The README file that
accompanies the ODBC driver has a section, "ODBC Driver Configuration
Details", that discusses the user DSN registry settings. But since you are
connecting successfully to the TSM server, your DSN is not the problem. As
I said before, I am able to run your exact same code (except for DSN name,
Admin ID, and password) and get good results.

If the problem persists, even with the 5.1.5 TSM ODBC driver, then review
the TSM ODBC driver README file and follow the advice given in the
"Troubleshooting/Diagnostics" section subsection "Application Problems" to
obtain the appropriate trace data. Then open a problem with IBM support,
and we can work through it that way.

Andy

Hi,
I found that that the TSM: There is no information about this table.
comes when creating Connection object.  Connection does not happen.
In which folder the  DSN file to be created?  Is it supposed to be in a
specific folder where the database tables of TSM (I dont know even that
location with respect to install location of TSM server) is?
Thanks
