Problem:
Customer installed ES 2.3 on one Linux server and on the same machine installed IBM data server client 11.1.0 . DB2 database is installed on another machine. I trying to use cobmfhco to create a database with alternate collation sequence from ES 2.3 machine on to the remote DB2 server and getting the error
"HCO critical error . unable to load the IBM db2 software . see the 'start here ' topic within the product documentation for details .
Resolution:
Once we had IBM data server client 11.1.0 installed we could also get the same error. During the install we had noticed a message about missing the 32bit PAM libraries and we ignored it.
After these libraries were installed, cobmfhco worked.
The package is pam-1.1.1-13.el6(i686)
Make sure you have that package installed. (This is a Red Hat Linux package).
After getting cobmfhco to work, we removed that package and instantly received the error “Unable to load the required IBM DB2 software.” Re-Adding that package solved the issue again…
