OK, a couple of things:
1) I traced the ODBC driver while getting the connection, and you are
right. It looks to me like the JDBC-ODBC bridge is doing more than just
connecting with the server; it is also obtaining information about the TSM
tables, and among other things, does call SQLColAttribute(). The ODBC
driver is connecting successfully, but the attempt to get information
about the TSM database is failing. Since these two functions appear to be
wrapped in the getConnection() code, we are both right! (Sorry, I am not
familiar with the details of how the JDBC-ODBC bridge works.)
2) Looking more closely at my 10 May 2002 post (I provided the link in my
original response on this thread), the customer to whom I responded was
seeing similar problems as you, and I recommended 4.2.2.0 or 5.1.0.1 at
that time. I'm fairly certain that 5.1.0.1 contained significant
enhancements (okay, fixes) that will resolve the trouble you are seeing.
Since 5.1.5.0 contains even more fixes, it is the version I recommend. Try
that, and let me know how it goes.

Subject: Re: HELP: In TSM (Tivoli storage manager) 5.1 querying
its databse thorugh
java code
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.
