Primitive failed calling 'ODBCLibraryName':SQLAllocEnv from PlatformFunction>>#callWithArguments: due to OS error126

Hi,

I have a GUI program that I'm upgrading from V8.0.3 to V8.6.  It runs okay in the development environment but has this error:

Runtime error: Primitive failed calling 'ODBCLibraryName':SQLAllocEnv from PlatformFunction>>#callWithArguments: due to OS error126

at runtime.  I expect a packaging problem but it's late and time for dinner.  I'm hoping someone will post an idea by the time I get back here tomorrow.

Hi Everybody,

Thank you all for the posts and very fast response.  After dinner on Wednesday (it wasn't bad Richard - thanks) and before I got back to my computer Thursday morning, I concluded it may be a missing DLL but I had included everything Instantiations supplies in their server zip, so didn't quite make sense.

Joachim hinted at the answer but I wasn't quite sure what he meant.  I tried what Mike suggested and that did the trick.

Thank you all again.

Lou

Check to make sure that your .ini file for your packaged image includes the [PlatformLibrary Name Mappings] section.  Check your abt.ini file for the appropriate values to put in this section, as I have found that in packaging, they are not automatically put into the ini file.

Hi Mariana,

Do you have these four lines in your .ini file:

DB2CliLibraryName=db2cli

DB2PrecompilerServices=db2aprep

DB2RuntimeServices=db2app

DB2RuntimeServicesMessages=db2agapi

Somewhere between version 6 and version 8.6.3 Instantiations removed direct references to .ini file names from the image (and maybe other places) and now links them up via the .ini file.  Since things work with your version 6, I think we can assume the needed files are present and that the problem lies in finding them.  So the .ini files seems like the place to look.  If you have those four lines or add them and still have problems, post back and we will see what else we can come up with.

Hi, I'm reviving this thread because I have a similar problem.

I'm trying to migrate from an older version of Smalltalk (trying to get rid of a deprecated VA6) and I'm getting this error:

Walkback: Primitive failed calling 'DB2CliLibraryName':SQLAllocEnv from PlatformFunction>>#callWithArguments: due to OS error126

The application indeed uses a DB2 database and fails when it first attempts to connect to it. At first there was no ini file in the runtime directory and I got this error, so I copied one and renamed it accordingly to match the package name.

This ini file already had the following under the PlatformLibrary Name Mappings section:
DB2CliLibraryName=db2cli

But still I get the same error as before.

I checked and there is a file named db2cli.dll under the DB2 bin directory (which is part of the PATH environment variable, so it's not like DB2 is incorrectly installed or something).

Also, when I run the application using a VA6 built runtime in the same machine (without an ini file), this issue does not happen.

I have also tried changing the ini to use db2cli64, since the machine I'm trying to run this on is 64 bits, but apparently the executable runs as 32 bits, so that didn't solve it, it just led to a similar dll issue with OS error193.

Anyway, I'm really stuck here and I've been pushing to migrate to newer VA versions for a really long time. I'd hate to have to continue working on VA6 because of this. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Mariana

Hello Mariana. Here we have the same error after migration from VAST 6.0.4 to VA Smalltalk 8.6.3.

I didn't take the time to analyze how the library name is initialized from the .ini file, but you can try to replace method AbtIbmCliDatabaseManager class>>#libraryName with the following:

libraryName

"Answer the logical name for the library."

^ 'db2cli' "$NON-NLS$"

and do the reduce again. This will work just for windows. Is not the final solution, but is a point to start the analysis.

In VAST 6.0.4 the libraryName is resolved starting from AbtDatabaseManager class>>#selectLibraryName: 

I couldn't see how the name is initialized from abt.ini, since there's no other reference to string 'DB2CliLibraryName' in the image. I will continue look for that.

Regards,

Santiago

Yes, I have those 4 lines in the .ini file.

And since I tried changing it to use the 64 bit version (which failed for different reasons), I was able to confirm that it was being picked up.
