Invalid path separator specified in db2.DbLibrary

I was getting this error when i was trying to validate the database driver information that i entered in wkplc_dbtype.properties file by executing ConfigEngine.bat validate-database-driver configuration command.

In my case i am trying to connect to DB2 using the Type 4 driver. In order to do that i did set db2.DBLibrary property like this in wkplc_dbtype.properties file

db2.DbLibrary=/software/IBM/db2jcc.jar;/software/IBM/db2jcc_license_cu.jar

So i had to change the wkplc_dbtype.properties file to take out the ; and the db2jcc_license_cu.jar.

db2.DbLibrary=/software/IBM/db2jcc.jar

With this change i could successfully execute ConfigEngine.bat validate-database-driver command but the ConfigEngine.bat validate-database-connection command started failing. So after executing the validate-database-driver we have to revert back to the original version of wkplc_dbtype.properties
