Michael Dick commented on OPENJPA-1668:
---------------------------------------

This is a case where I wish we had a separate DBDictionary class for Z/OS 
(although we can't detect it until we have a connection so that would pose its 
own challenges). 

That said we shouldn't override user settings - the connectedConfiguration 
method needs to take user settings into account before overwriting the 
variables. AFAIK there isn't a good way to detect whether a config property was 
set by the user or just accepted the default value though - so solving the 
problem might be more kludgy than we'd like. 

I'd vote for checking whether sequenceSQL has the default value in 
connectedConfiguration. If it has the default we'll go ahead and override with 
a z/os default. If it isn't the default we'll leave it alone (maybe issue a 
trace statement). 

Any other ideas I've missed?

> When setting/overriding the 'DBDictionary.sequenceSQL' value via a property 
> in the persistence.xml file, as follows:
>       <property name="openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary" 
> value="db2(sequenceSQL='SELECT SCHEMA AS SEQUENCE_SCHEMA, NAME AS 
> SEQUENCE_NAME FROM CIDB2.SYSSEQUENCES')"/>                                    
>                     
> this value is not used when running DB2 on zOS.  Rather, the 'default for 
> zOS' is used, i.e.: "SELECT SCHEMA AS SEQUENCE_SCHEMA, NAME AS SEQUENCE_NAME 
> FROM SYSIBM.SYSSEQUENCES";.  
> To understand how this is happening, let me describe how 'sequenceSQL' is 
> defined/set at runtime.  First, the ctor of DB2Dictionary is called, and the 
> variable is set to a default:
>         sequenceSQL = "SELECT SEQSCHEMA AS SEQUENCE_SCHEMA, "
>             + "SEQNAME AS SEQUENCE_NAME FROM SYSCAT.SEQUENCES";
> After the DB2Dictionary ctor is called, openJPA assigns to 'sequenceSQL' the 
> value defined in the system property.  So at this point things are all good 
> and the variable is set to what is defined in the prop.  Where things go awry 
> is when the method DB2Dictionary.connectedConfiguration is called.  In the 
> method there is some platform specific code which is executed which 
> overwrites the sequenceSQL value:
>        // platform specific settings
>         switch (db2ServerType) {
>         case  db2ZOSV8xOrLater:
>               ........
>             sequenceSQL = "SELECT SCHEMA AS SEQUENCE_SCHEMA, "
>                 + "NAME AS SEQUENCE_NAME FROM SYSIBM.SYSSEQUENCES";
> Thanks,
> Heath
