SPB FAILS TO BUILD AN SQL STORED PROCEDURE ON DB2 UDB FOR UNIX SERVER - #INCLUDE FILE "SQLADEF.H" NOT FOUND.

APAR status
Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

The following errors occur when using the Stored Procedure
Builder (SPB) to build an SQL stored procedure ona DB2 UDB
for UNIX server.
-
1506-296 (S) #include file "sqladef.h" not found.
-
1506-007 (S) "struct sqla_runtime_info" is undefined.
-
1506-045 (S) Undeclared identifier wchar_t.
-
It appears the DB2 Stored Procedure Builder is running the
following command:
cp /usr/lpp/db2inst2/sqllib/function/routine/sqlproc.icc
/usr/lpp/db2inst2/sqllib/function/routine/sqlproc/IHSDW/
STAGING/tmp/P483 8710.icc
-
Then it runs the following:
vacbld P4838710.icc
and this process gets the errors listed.
-
The .icc file contains the following at the beginning:
-
prog_name = $SQLROUTINE_FILENAME
infile  = prog_name".c"
expfile = prog_name".exp"
icsfile = prog_name".ics"
.
if defined( $__TOS_AIX__ )
{
{
db2path     = $HOME"/sqllib" <--- THIS IS THE ERROR
outfile     = prog_name
group lib   = "libdb2.a"
option opts = link( debug, no ),
link( exportList, expfile ),
link( libsearchpath, db2path"/lib" ),
incl( searchPath, db2path"/include" )
}
.
else // if defined( $__TOS_OS2__ ) | defined( $__TOS_WIN__ )
{
db2path     = $DB2PATH
outfile     = prog_name".dll"
expfile     = prog_name".def"
group lib   = "db2api.lib"
option opts = link( debug, no ),
link( exportList, expfile ),
link( libsearchpath, db2path"  lib" ),
incl( searchPath, db2path"  include" )
}
.
option opts
{
target type(dll) outfile
{
source infile
source lib
}
}
-
The failure occurs in the following line in the source code:
-
db2path     = $HOME"/sqllib" <--- THIS IS THE ERROR
-
The variable, $HOME, points to the home directory of the user
account which started the DB2 instance. There is no problem as
long as the instance owner logs in and starts the DB2 instance.
The problem happens if a user, who is NOT the instance owner,
logs in and starts the DB2 instance. There will be NO
.../sqllib/ directory in this users home directory; an
/sqllib/ directory is only found in the instance owner's
home directory.
-
Note that DB2 permits any user account to start a DB2
instance, as long as the user account has sysadm,
sysctrl or sysmaint authority.

Local fix

One workaround is to add a link to the instance /sqllib/
directory in the home directory of the userid used to start
the instance.
-
A second workaround would be to logon as the instance
userid and start the instance.

Problem summary

 See Problem Decription for a description of the
problem.
This problem is caused because the user is logging in with a
userid different from the instance owner's userid when he
starts the DB2 instance on the server.
Because of this, the HOME environment variable is set to the
home directory of the userid used to logon. Since this directory
is NOT the DB2 instance directory, it does not contain an
/sqllib/ directory.
Therefore, when the $HOME variable is replaced with its actual
value in the source code generated by the SPB, there is no
/sqllib/ directory in the path and the DB2 'include' files
cannot be located.

Problem conclusion

Module:  ENGN_PSM
Permanent Restriction: This apar is being closed as a permanent
restriction on the use of the SPB in this environment for
DB2 UDB Version 7.2. The Local Fix or Workaround sections of
this apar provide two possible workarounds for this problem.
CMVC defect 218224 has been opened to provide a fix for this
defect in DB2 UDB Version 8.
