Summary0002955: DB2 9 fails on start up (meta-data is missing)
DescriptionI am installing SymmetricsDS for the first time with the aim of syncing between IBM db2 9.7 FP 9 to postgresql 9.5.
I have followed the quick start demo guide using the data in the samples directory.
When i start the service it attempts to create the SYM tables and because I have already created the tables as part of one of the previous steps (../bin/symadmin --engine corp-000 create-sym-tables ) it fails.
If I drop the SYM tables and start the service again it starts up ok and creates the SYM tables. However when i stop and start the service it trys to create the tables again and fails.
The user which is configured in the properties file has access to the SYM tables. If logon to the database using db visualiser with the same user I can see all the SYM tables.
log output below any help or advice would be appreciated.

looking at the code It looks to be an issue with the meta data being returned.
adding logging on the meta values shows the below is be returned.
meta data values {TABLE_CAT=null, SELF_REF_COL_NAME=null, TABLE_NAME=null, TABLE_SCHEM=DB2INST1, TYPE_SC
HEM=null, TYPE_CAT=null, TABLE_TYPE=TABLE, REMARKS=null, REF_GENERATION=null, TYPE_NAME=null, NAME=SYM_TRIGGER_ROUTER_GROUPLET}
the table name is returned in the meta values under NAME instead of TABLE_NAME which is null
It then misses out a bit of code which create a table object.
The start up thinks no tables are created and then tries to create them.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

We had installed SymmetricDS 3.16.1 on a DB2 AS400 database earlier this week and it went well. There were no errors similar to one described above.
