What does this mean: ERROR! Shared library ioser12 could not be found.

Hi all,

I am trying to establisch a JDBC connection to a MaxDB database (former SapDB).
I have a win2k system with jdk 1.4.2_01 installed.

I have the JDBC connection working in the sense that i am able to execute SQL scripts by ant tasks,
so far i think that everything is properly configured.

Nevertheless, when i try to use the connection in my own class (a JUnit testcase), i get this message:

"ERROR! Shared library ioser12 could not be found."

The program then continues, and i get sql error messages that the user is still connected. I think these are followups from the first one - one testcase may be broken by this error, but the connection is not closed.

I searched the web to find what i could do against it. I found some forum discussions about this problem and hence i tried to set my path and classpath to locations where the isoser12.dll is located (runtime environment/bin), and finally copied it to the windows/system32 dir.

Nothing made this error disappear. I am still stuck with this one since two days.

Btw, the same testcases work well with other databases like oracle or db2.

Hence, i am calling to you for some ideas about this error.

Thank you in advance for help,
Andreas Schroeder
