While looking for these elements inside the exception, I found the DB2ExceptionFormatter and tried to use it to access the missing elements. But here I stopped, because the DB2ExceptionFormatter gave me a clue: Error occurred while trying to obtain message http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2720112/how-to-get-descriptive-error-messages-from-db2 text from server. Only message tokens are available. So my question is: What do I have to configure to get the correct messages from the DB2 server? If I can get a human readable message from the server, I could use it directly and wouldn't have to translate it by myself. java jdbc db2 share|improve this question asked Apr 27 '10 at 9:41 tangens 23.7k891118 In order to answer that question, it would be helpful to know what DB2 version and system (LUW, z/OS, AS400, etc.) you are using. –JRA_TLL Dec 30 '15 at 8:37 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 6 down vote accepted I'm not sure what message reference you're looking at above (it seems to be iSeries?) but you're better off going to the DB2 Message Reference over here. Looking up SQL0206 gets us this page, with the following information: name is not valid in the context where it is used. The SQLERRMC is "O.METADATENSATZ" so I would take this to mean you have sent an SQL statement to DB2 and it is reporting that "O.METADATENSATZ" is not valid...either the column doesn't exist or the table "O" does not exist. As the message reference states, if you want to automatically translate DB2 error messages: To invoke message help, open the command line processor and enter: ? XXXnnnnn where XXX represents a valid message prefix and nnnnn represents a valid message number.

These APIs are designed to provide services other than the data storage, manipulation, and retrieval functionality that SQL provides to DB2 UDB applications. (Essentially, any database operation that can be performed from the Command Line Processor by executing a DB2 command can be performed from within an application by calling an administrative API.) Administrative APIs are be called from within a high-level programming language source code file and when called, they operate in a manner that is similar to other host-language functions each API has both a call and a return interface, and the calling application must wait until the requested API completes before it can continue. Each time an SQL statement or an administrative API is executed, the DB2 Database Manager updates an SQLCA data structure variable and the sqlcode element of that variable is assigned a value that indicates success or failure. This value is actually a coded number and a special administrative API can be used to translate any coded number produced into a meaningful description, which can then be displayed to the us
