DB2 Development Center on Red Hat 7.2 Systems Exception Error Applicable version(s): 8 Applicable platform(s): Linux Abstract: When you are running the DB2 Development Center on Red Hat 7.2 systems with a 2.4 kernel level user actions such as building running and dropping database objects on your local system may result in the following exception: COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2Exception: [IBM][CLI Driver] CLI0108E Communication link failure. SQLSTATE=40003 Cause: Solution: You must create an alias for your database. For example, if you have a local database named SAMPLE on your local host myhost, enter the following DB2 commands in your command prompt window to create an alias for the database SAMPLE: db2 catalog tcpip node myhost remote myhost server nnnn db2 catalog database sample as mysamp at node myhost where nnnn is the port number of the database management system. After entering these commands, connect to mysamp instead of SAMPLE in the DB2 Development Center.
