@kapa.ai: I am facing below error while creating a DB2 source connection: Configuration check failed State code: 42968; Error code: -4230; Message: [jcc][t4][10509][13454][4.28.11] Connection to the data server failed. The IBM Data Server for JDBC and SQLJ license was invalid or was not activated for the DB2 for z/OS subsystem. If you are connecting directly to the data server and using DB2 Connect Unlimited Edition for System z, perform the activation step by running the activation program in the license activation kit. If you are using any other edition of DB2 Connect, obtain the license file, db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar, from the license activation kit, and follow the installation directions to include the license file in the class path. ERRORCODE=-4230, SQLSTATE=42968

The error message you're encountering indicates that the IBM Data Server for JDBC and SQLJ license was invalid or was not activated for the DB2 for z/OS subsystem. This is a licensing issue related to the IBM DB2 driver. To resolve this issue, you need to obtain a valid license file (
db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar
) and include it in the class path. If you are using DB2 Connect Unlimited Edition for System z, you should perform the activation step by running the activation program in the license activation kit. Please note that the IBM Db2 source connector in Airbyte is built on top of the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ, which is a pure-Java driver (Type 4) that supports the JDBC 4 specification as described in IBM Db2 [documentation](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2/11.5?topic=apis-supported-drivers-jdbc-sqlj) [source](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/db2#db2). If you continue to face issues, it might be helpful to check your firewall settings as well. In a [similar issue](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/35704) reported on Github, a user was unable to connect to IBM DB2 due to firewall restrictions at their workplace. If you're still having trouble, I recommend reaching out to the Airbyte community on their [discussion forum](https://discuss.airbyte.io/) or [Github](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/discussions) for further assistance.
