Issue in application migration to Spring 5 Hibernate 5

I am currently working to upgrade an existing web application from Spring 4 to 5.3.9 and Hibernate 4 to 5.5.7 DB2 database is being used. After the new jar files are replaced, an SQLGrammarException exception thrown which is caused by inaccessible of the database object SYSCAT.SEQUENCES object. This is never an issue with hibernate 4 and I am not sure why hibernate try to access this database object. Is there a way to avoid this issue?

com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.StaleConnectionException: SYSCAT.SEQUENCES IS AN UNDEFINED NAME

Thanks a lot for the help.

Following is a more details in the log.
