 HWCCON0104E error - Unable to access Db2 Lite UI

Hello,

I am trying to do a course from Coursera entitled IBM Data Engineering Professional Certificate. The course is kind enough to give me a one time key for setting up a study account in cloud.ibm.com.

I have setup the account successfully, and it appears I have setup a Db2-Lite database in Dallas, but I cannot access it. Every time I click "Go to UI" i get the message:

HWCCON0104E

The data cannot be displayed.

Failed to open console, contact IBM support for assistance.

I have tried creating 2x tickets, but as I am not a paying user, I get the same answer that this is a technical problem and therefore no one can help. Unfortunately, as this is the only thing I am trying to do, it kind of makes the account useless for me right now.

In addition to the tickets i have tried:

  • clearing cookies
  • incognito mode
  • Edge and Chrome browsers
  • Different PCs (Dell and Apple)
  • deleting and reprovisioning
  • using different locations (London and Dallas)

I also followed some guidance from ChatGPT about using the CLI - where the good news is that I can find the account, provisioned database name, and an active status - but this does not seem to do anything for accessing the UI which I would need if I wanted to follow the course.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would be extremely happy to try them out.


Otherwise many thanks for your time and hope you are having a good day.

Thanks,


Peter
