Notes Client Crashes during LCConnection.Connect

I have some code that uses lsxlc to access a DB2 database.The code works fine when I am connected to the network where the database server resides.

However if I disconnect from that network or change the database name so it is not one that is cataloged on my local workstation, the Notes Client Crashes and creates an NSD log file.

Has anyone else experienced this error?

I am running Lotus Notes R7.0 HF277 June 21, 2006 on Windows XP with the DB2 9.5 client installed.

Below is the code that runs. The crash happens on the line which runs lcConn.Connect.


Static Function getLCConnection(db As NotesDatabase, doc As NotesDocument, errProc$) As LCConnection

Static dbReq As notesdatabase

Static docProj As NotesDocument

Static lcConn As LCConnection

Dim conname As String

Dim db2Installed%



Dim reconnectReqd%

On Error Goto errorhandler



reconnectReqd% = False



If lcConn Is Nothing Then

	Dim lcs As New lcsession

	' LIST ALL AVAILABLE LCLSX CONNECTORS

	Call lcs.ListConnector(LCLIST_FIRST,conname)

	If Ucase(conname) = "DB2" Then

		db2Installed% = True

	End If

	While lcs.listconnector(LCLIST_NEXT,conname) And db2Installed% = False

		

		If Ucase(conname) = "DB2" Then

			db2Installed% = True

		End If

	Wend

	

'// DB2 drivers not installed?

	If db2Installed% = False Then

		On Error Goto errorhandler

		Error 1000, "The DB2 Client Driver needs to be installed to connect to the requirements database."

		Exit Function

	End If

	

	Set lcConn = New LCConnection("DB2")

	reconnectReqd% = True

End If



On Error Goto errorhandler

If dbReq Is Nothing Then

	Set dbReq = getReqDb(db)

	reconnectReqd% = True

End If



If docProj Is Nothing Then	

	Set docProj = getProjectDoc( _

	dbReq, doc.Project(0),  _

	doc.Release(0), _

	True  _   'includeDB2ConFields%

	)

	reconnectReqd% = True

End If



If ( _

lcConn.Database <> docProj.DatabaseName(0) Or _

lcConn.Userid <> docProj.DatabaseUserid(0) ) Then

	lcConn.Database = docProj.DatabaseName(0) 

	lcConn.Userid =docProj.DatabaseUserid(0)

	lcConn.Password = docProj.DatabasePassword(0)		

	reconnectReqd% = True

Else

	If Not gLcConn.GetPropertyBoolean(LCTOKEN_IS_CONNECTED) Then

		reconnectReqd% = True

	End If

End If		





If  reconnectReqd% = True Then

  ' try the connect

	Print "Connecting to Rational Reqpro DB2 db: " & lcConn.Database		

	On Error Goto errorhandler

            '// THE NEXT LINE CRASHES LOTUS NOTES WHEN

            '// THE DB IS NOT CATALOGED OR REACHABLE

	lcConn.Connect

	Print "Connected"

End If



Set getLCConnection = lcConn

Exit Function

Set getLCConnection = Nothing

Set getLCConnection = Nothing

Exit Function

End Function

My only guess is your DB2 client version may be too new possibly for the lclsx used by Notes 7. You should cross check if DB2 9.5 client is supported LC LSX in your release of Notes/Domino.
