Got a question about the 2025 Release. One known issue (Adobe ColdFusion (2025 release) bugs fixed and known issues.) is that the DB2 drivers don't work. The workaround is to "download the latest", and then • Replace the driver in bundles/repo. • Restart ColdFusion. • Retry connecting to the datasource. I do see, in the bundles directory, a file named db2-2025.0.0.331385.jar, and in the bundles\repo directory, a file named adobe_db2driver-6.0.0.000477.jar Can you tell me from where I'm to get the working driver(s)? The jar files above are from the downloaded, latest version of CF 2025 from today, which is what has been deployed, and is not working. Anything I copy from what I downloaded and paste into bundles/repo folder will only overwrite one with the same, which clearly doesn't make sense. What are the names of the working driver(s), and where can I get them? Thank you.

@1andypeterson: Please delete the adobe_db2driver-6.0.0.000477.jar from bundles/repo folder and again install the db2 module, using cfpm install db2, it will in turn bring the correct version of adobe_db2driver-6.0.0.000477.jar, then restart the server, you should be able to connect to the db2 instance, in th extreme case clear the felix cache as well. If it doesn't work please let me know the error you are getting, we will be sharing the jar through appropriate channel
@1andypeterson : Are you able to resolve this with the above steps?

@Ashudeep Sharma - thanks for following up. Yes, the DB2 universal DB driver works however the proprietary DB2 driver from IBM does not. This is important to us because we have one enterprise license, of which we can use the universal driver, and one standard license, with which we use the jar file not provided with ColdFusion

Can you share the link of the driver with version and also the exception/error message?
