Can not connect to DB2 using ibm_db api in Robot framework

Question

I used below statement to connect to DB2 database (on IBM i Access server) in RIDE editor

Connect To Database Using Custom Params    ibm_db    'DATABASE=mydb;HOSTNAME=10.53.x.x;PORT=8471;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=myuser;PWD=xxxx;','',''

But it always connecting and can not finishing. I can telnet the port 8471 (this is port for accessing database)

When I tried another port I got the below error:

SQL30081N A communication error has been
detected. Communication protocol being used: "TCP/IP". Communication
API being used: "SOCKETS". Location where the error was detected:
"x.x.x.x". Communication function detecting the error: "recv".
Protocol specific error code(s): "*", "*", "0". SQLSTATE=08001

Do you know how to fix this ?

Answer 1

Try using ibm_db_dbi instead of using ibm_db .

It worked for me .
