I know this kinda belongs in General Section of the forum. If the mods decide to move it they are more than welcome
I was having this nightmare of trying to get WF 3.5 configured on my Windows 2000 Pro with DB2 8.1 and MQ 5.3.
I was getting a SQL1042C error. I tried all the microsoft solutions like
rebooting, Uninstalling softwares, re-installaing them back and even did a re-Image of my system. NO USE
Then I tried to do it IBM way which is to find the latest and greatest fix packs ( which includes fixes for fixes and fixes for fix fixes...so on ) and it works like charm.
In another incident it happened with one of my colleagues when he spent some sleep less nights trying to figure out why his Workbench/Modeler wont work on Windows XP SP2. Turns out he had to go for a fix pack 3 and patch 13 for the workbench. The standard plain image of the software on CD/Download doesnt work out of the box.
So my 2 cents to all those new to IBM products is ,you are better off trying things the IBM way first before you try to do anything Microsoft way.
Since I had these expereinces only with workflow areas I am posting this in this workflow forum. _________________ Thanks

If that's the IBM way then i'm a vegetable I WISH this was the IBM way, my life would have been so much better for it...
the real ibm way is installing fix packs, finding out it does nothing at all to solve your problem, then work at it night and day until you find some arcane long-lost parameter sitting in a parameter file called NOTAPARMFILE.something.else in a dir called /DONOTTOUCH. Naturally, this parameter will either be undocumented or in the wrong manual.
An alternative IBMish scenario would be writing your own parser  |

All this definitely applies to the following IBM products: WMQ, WBI, WAS, ICS, z/OS and associates, AIX, and i've heard similar rumors of Tivoli and TAM. |
