It appears that you are using DB2 on z/OS which per this [post](https://forum.flowable.org/t/db2-zos-database-support/1741/2) indicates it is not really supported as there is not an environment to test it in.

My memory tells me that DB2 is different on different operating systems with z/OS as the main outlier.

This [post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11743265/insert-multiple-rows-into-db2-database) indicates that the z/OS version doesn’t support the value-list format that Flowable uses for bulk inserts which is supported on Linux and Windows for example.
