APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The default description used with
  the DB2 UDB for iSeries (Native) JDBC Provider in WebSphere
  Application Server specifies an incorrect db2_classes16.jar
  IFS path for the IBM i OS.
  
  In the description text, the IFS path is currently listed as..
  /QIBM/Proddata/java400/jdk6/lib/ext/db2_classes16.jar
  
  This is incorrect for the IBM i OS.  The correct path should
  be..
  /QIBM/ProdData/OS400/Java400/ext/db2_classes16.jar
  

Local fix

• Use the correct path
  /QIBM/ProdData/OS400/Java400/ext/db2_classes16.jar
