@abinayaa-r Are you able to download file https://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/data/db2/drivers/odbc_cli/ntx64_odbc_cli.zip or https://github.com/ibmdb/db2drivers/raw/main/clidriver/ntx64_odbc_cli.zip manually? It seems your firewall or VPN configuration is blocking download of this ntx64_odbc_cli.zip file when you run your application. Resolve the download issue, ibm_db would work fine.
Alternatively, you can download file from any link, unzip it; you'll get clidriver folder. Then set system level environment variable name IBM_DB_HOME to full path of this unzipped clidriver folder. After that you install ibm_db. If IBM_DB_HOME is set, ibm_db do not download clidriver from these links. Try and let me know. Thanks.

I have manually downloaded the cli driver file from the link and also i have given npm install and set the environment vairable(IBM_DB_HOME).

It didn't give any error while installing but while starting the application getting below licensing error.

C:\Users\FirstProject> npm start
Server started

}

@abinayaa-r Your ibm_db installation issue is fixed now. The SQL1598N error is expected in absence of valid db2connect license. It is documented well in ibm_db documentation. Please follow instructions as documented here to resolve SQL1598N error. Thanks.
