Splunk DB connect is not working for DB2 database.
Installed drivers for DB2 :
db2jcc.jar
db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar
db2jcc_license_cu.jar
PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_JDBC_DB2_ALL.jar

Getting license error : [ibm][db2][jcc][10333][11649] No license was found. An appropriate license file db2jcc_license_*.jar must be provided in the CLASSPATH setting.

I tried to update classpath for license file but then Splunk restart , nothing is working, please help...

export CLASSPATH="$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/db2jcc-libs/db2jcc_license_cu.jar"

Tried for another license file as well but again error is same

Per my research, the db2jcc.jar driver is now deprecated. After version 3.72, which is delivered with DB2 Version 11.1 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows Mod 1 Fix Pack 1, db2jcc.jar will include no new features. However, fixes will continue to be delivered.

In additional I found this answer where you can deploy in your environment to test if this issue can be fixed.

Did you update permissions/ownership of the jar files you uploaded? If you're running as the splunk user, ensure that user can read them.
