Solution

This error happens when incompatible versions of IBM WebSphere adpater are deployed together, for my case it was JDBC (6.2.0.2_IF_01) and IMS adapter (10.3.0), the solution is to use compatible versions, for me i used the same version of JDBC adapter and IMS Adpater version 10.3.2 (packaged with WID 7) or 10.4.0

--OLD POST --
This was a tough error, i didn't find a clue for the solution anywhere on the web, but anyway i found that this error happens because of two settings in the Adapter custom properties:



Change the following settings

Resources > Resource adapters > IBM WebSphere Adapter for JDBC > Custom properties


From

traceNumberOfFiles: 1
logNumberOfFiles: 1

To

traceNumberOfFiles: 0
logNumberOfFiles: 0


Note: if you need adapter tracing information you can add the following trace level string ( com.ibm.j2ca.*=finest ) to the server trace settings
