Hi Team,

I am trying to deploy DB2 .NET 8 application to EKS, but it is failing to connect DB2 on-prem from EKS
I am using Jenkins pipeline and DockerFile for deployment.

Getting Error as Unable to load shared library libdb2.so
libxm2.so.2: No such file or directory

Base image I tried was Debian Bookworm and RedHat UBI 8.0

With .NET 6 it was working but now I upgraded the application to .NET 8 and getting this issue

Kindly help 

Hello,

are you using the correct nuget package? I'm using the following package references:

<PackageReference Include="IBM.EntityFrameworkCore" Version="8.0.0.300" Condition="'$(os)' == 'Windows_NT'" />
<PackageReference Include="IBM.EntityFrameworkCore-lnx" Version="8.0.0.200" Condition="'$(os)' == 'UNIX'" />

Have you set the environment variables that are needed for DB2 to function in the docker file?

This is how the bottom of my dockerfile looks like:

FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app/publish .

# Environment variables for DB2 to function
ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app/clidriver/lib:/app/clidriver/lib/icc
ENV DB2_CLI_DRIVER_INSTALL_PATH=/app/clidriver
ENV PATH=$PATH:/app/clidriver/bin

Also you will need to install libxml2 into the docker image:

#install libxml2
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libxml2-dev
