IBM IMS connection on Tomcat using JNDI - JAVA

Question

We are in process of migration from WAS8 to Tomcat8. In Tomcat, we need to establish connection using JNDI for IMS in Java..

I am facing problem to create "URL" for JNDI connection of IBM IMS, below is the url struture given by IBM IMS JDBC jar

for driverType 4 "jdbc:ims://datastoreServer[:port]/databaseName[:property=value;]";

for driverType 2 "jdbc:ims:databaseName[:property=value;]";

This is what i have created

jdbc:ims://xx.xx.xxx.com:4034;datastoreName=XXX34;dpsbOnCommit=true;

but it is given me error during connection

above problem looks solved by correct url param but now i am getting error

Answer 1

For the Type-4 connection url:

jdbc:ims://datastoreServer[:port]/databaseName[:property=value;]

The databaseName placeholder should be replaced with your PSB name if you're using the IMS catalog

or with

class://your.fully.qualified.PSBNameDatabaseView

if you're using a local metadata file
