Error SQL7008 while updating a DB2 for iSeries table

Answer 1

From doing some googling on this error message I noticed that it happens when you are running an insert/update in a non-transactional mode. The explanation is given here .

This occurs because the table you are trying to update is not being journalled, and your update is being run within a transaction.

Generally, you should always commit (and rollback if an exception occurs) your transactions. Usually I never set auto commit to true but in this case I would like to understand if it's truly needed as mentioned in the link above. Can you set the auto commit to true in your connection to see if this goes away?

<property name="hibernate.connection.autocommit" value="true"/>

Also this link has some tutorials on transaction management with hibernate.
