If you are planning to install DB2 Query Patroller for the first time on AIX*, HP-UX, NUMA-Q/PTX, or the Solaris** Operating Environment, before you begin, refer to the technote "Installing DB2 Query Patroller version 7.1 and 7.2 on UNIX**," available from the DB2 Universal Database Online Support web page at http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/winos2unix/support. HP-UX (32-bit) installation notes 2.1 Prerequisites You must have DB2 UDB Version 7.2 or DB2 UDB Version 7.1 with FixPak 3 or greater already installed before installing this FixPak. To determine if the required prerequisites are installed, issue the following command: swlist -l product "*DB2*" The output of the command should include the following: DB2V7CAE 7.1.0.x [product name] or PDB2... 7.1.0.x Product Patch where x must be 40 or higher. If the output of the command includes DB2V7CAE 7.1.1.y [product name] or PDB2... 7.1.1.y Product Patch then you need to get the 64-bit DB2 FixPak for HP-UX. To find details about the prerequisites for 64-bit DB2 FixPaks, check the FixpakReadme.txt file for the 64-bit DB2 UDB FixPak for HP-UX-v11. 2.2 Prior to installation Log on as root and enter the following commands for each instance: su - iname . $HOME/sqllib/db2profile db2 force applications all db2 terminate db2stop db2licd -end # run at each physical node exit where iname represents the instance owner name. If you are a hacmp user, you must use the ha_db2stop command to stop DB2 instead of the db2stop command. Otherwise the db2stop command will trigger a failure event. Then, while still logged on as root, enter the following commands: su - aname . $HOME/sqllib/db2profile db2admin stop exit where aname represents the administration server name. 2.3 Installation instructions In previous FixPaks, a script called installpatch was used to start the FixPak installation process. Beginning with FixPak 6, the installation script has been called installFixPak. The installFixPak script is the recommended method for installing this FixPak. To install the FixPak: su - root cd ./installFixPak where is the top directory in which the FixPak image is located. 2.4 After installation 2.4.1 Updating instances Note: You need to be logged on as root to update the instances. For each instance, issue the command: /opt/IBMdb2/V7.1/instance/db2iupdt iname where iname represents the instance name. Note: If you are running both Enterprise - Extended Edition (EEE) and Enterprise Edition (EE) on the same computer, then you need to run db2iupdt with the "-k" option. Otherwise, it will check to see if EEE filesets exist; if they do, it will perform the update as if it was an EEE instance. For the DAS instance, issue the command: /opt/IBMdb2/V7.1/instance/dasiupdt dasname where dasname represents the DAS instance name. For more information on the db2iupdt or dasiupdt commands, run db2iupdt or dasiupdt with the "-h" option. 2.4.2 Enabling the new SQL built-in scalar functions FixPak 2 and later of Version 7 delivers new SQL built-in scalar functions. Refer to the SQL Reference and updates in the Release Notes for a description of these new functions. The new functions are not automatically enabled on each database when the database server code is upgraded to FixPak 2 or later of Version 7.1. To enable these new functions, you must login as the instance (or a SYSADM user) and issue the command db2updv7, specifying each database for each instance. This command makes an entry in the database that ensures that database objects created prior to executing this command use existing function signatures that may match the new function signatures. Note: FixPak 8 is the minimum prerequisite if you want to use a Version 8 client to connect to a Version 7 server. Therefore, anyone updating to FixPak 8 will also have to run the db2updv7 command. ATTENTION : If you intend to issue the db2updv7 command, it will change the database so it runs only with Version 7.1 FixPak 2 (or higher) of the database manager. You will not be able to run this database with any previous FixPak level. You must perform a full offline backup of the database prior to running db2updv7 in order to have the ability to restore to a previous FixPak level. 2.4.3 Rebinding bind files Due to the new bind (.bnd) files that have been shipped with this FixPak, you will need to rebind your DB2 utilities against all your databases after the FixPak installation. This step is necessary for the fixes in this FixPak to become effective. The procedure of rebinding, which follows, only needs to be performed once per database. 2.4.3.1 Rebinding to non-DRDA DB2 databases After applying fixes, you must do the following: - At a command prompt: db2 terminate db2 CONNECT TO db2 BIND /@db2ubind.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC db2 BIND /@db2cli.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC db2 terminate or, - At the DB2 command line: TERMINATE CONNECT TO BIND /@db2ubind.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC BIND /@db2cli.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC TERMINATE Where is the name of a database to which the utilities should be bound, and where is the full path name of the directory where the bind files are located, such as /sqllib/bnd. DB2UBIND.LST and DB2CLI.LST contain lists of commonly required bind files that are used for DB2. 2.4.3.2 Rebinding to DRDA databases If you are using DB2 Connect to connect to host databases, you will also need to bind the new bind files to the host. As above, use the DB2 Command Line Processor to connect to the host database, and then bind the utilities as follows: HOST COMMAND ======= =================================================== MVS BIND /@ddcsmvs.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE VM BIND /@ddcsvm.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE VSE BIND /@ddcsvse.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE OS400 BIND /@ddcs400.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE See "Binding Applications and Utilities" in the DB2 Connect User's Guide for a list of bind files that are used for your specific client operating system. If a bind file changes and your clients do not use that bind file, you do not need to rebind it. 2.4.3.3 Rebinding specific packages If you want to bind only the specific .bnd files to the database, issue the following commands for each database. - At a command prompt: db2 terminate db2 CONNECT TO db2 BIND / BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC db2 terminate or, - At the DB2 command line: TERMINATE CONNECT TO BIND / BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC TERMINATE where represents the name of the bind file, and represents the name of your database. 2.4.3.4 Binding db2sch.bnd to existing databases For FixPak installations on the server, an additional bind file needs to be bound to existing databases after applying the FixPak. This requirement does not apply to clients. This additional bind file is db2sch.bnd. Prerequisites If support for DB2 Version 8.1 clients is required, the db2updv7 command must be run following the installation of FixPak 8 or 9. If support for DB2 Version 8.1 clients is not needed, then db2sch.bnd does not need to be bound to existing databases. Procedure To bind db2sch.bnd on the server, execute these commands: At a command prompt: db2 terminate db2 CONNECT TO db2 BIND /db2sch.bnd BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC sqlerror continue db2 terminate or, At the DB2 command line: TERMINATE CONNECT TO BIND /db2sch.bnd BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC sqlerror continue TERMINATE where represents the name of a database to which the utilities should be bound, and where represents the full path name of the directory where the bind files are located. 2.5 Uninstalling FixPaks on UNIX Note: If you have received special fixes from IBM Support that you have applied to your current FixPak level, you will lose all of the special fixes when you uninstall the current FixPak. The special fixes you received from IBM Support are only applicable to the current FixPak. You should not apply the same special fixes on top of any backlevel FixPak. If this applies to you, contact IBM Support before uninstalling your FixPak. Before uninstalling FixPaks, ensure that you: Stop all instances, including the DAS instance Backup your data AIX If the FixPak was installed and the filesets were just applied but not committed, then the FixPak can be uninstalled using smit. See the smit documentation for more details. If the filesets were committed when the FixPak was installed, which is the default, then the FixPak cannot be uninstalled. The only course of action available is to uninstall DB2 from your system, reinstall DB2, and then apply the appropriate FixPak. HP-UX FixPak filesets can be uninstalled using the sam utility. If you use swlist or sam, you can list all filesets for the DB2 FixPaks and receive output similar to the following: PDB2_712050005 7.1.0.55 PDB2_712050031 7.1.0.55 PDB2_712081005 7.1.0.75 PDB2_712081006 7.1.0.75 PDB2_712081032 7.1.0.75 The installation signature is combined with the name of the fileset. You should uninstall the group of PDB2_* filesets with the same signature starting with the largest number. You can remove the latest FixPak applied, or the latest FixPak plus the second last, etc. You can also select them all. Linux (Intel and s/390) You cannot uninstall a DB2 FixPak on Linux (Intel and s/390). The only course of action available is to uninstall DB2 from your system, reinstall DB2, and then apply the appropriate FixPak. A db2_deinstall script is provided with the FixPak which will uninstall DB2 from your system. Dynix, Solaris Operating Environment, and SGI The backoutallpatch script is provided with all FixPak images. Run this script to uninstall the FixPak and leave the system in the state that it was before installing the FixPak. You can find this script in /var/sadm/patch. The script will be named backoutallpatch.7.1.x.y where 7.1.x.y corresponds to the VRMF of the FixPak. You must uninstall FixPaks from highest to lowest level until you've uninstalled the FixPak(s) that you want to remove. For example if you're at FixPak 7, you wouldn't be able to uninstall FixPak 5 unless you've uninstalled FixPak 6 and FixPak 7. Update all instances, including the DAS instance. 2.6 Alternate Unicode conversion tables for CCSID 943 Some characters in CCSID 943 have two code points each: "NEC" code point "IBM" code point Some other characters are also represented two code points each: a "NEC" code point and a "JIS" code point. For example, both X'8754' ("NEC") and X'FA4A' ("IBM") refer to the same Roman numeral one character in CCSID 943; and both X'879C' ("NEC") and X'81BE' ("JIS") refer to the same mathematical union symbol in CCSID 943. When using the DB2 default CCSID 943 to Unicode conversion table, both the "NEC" and "IBM"/"JIS" code points are converted to the same Unicode character; but on the reverse, the Unicode character is converted to the "IBM"/"JIS" code point. When using the Microsoft version of the CCSID 943 to Unicode conversion table, both "NEC" and "IBM"/"JIS" code points are also converted to the same Unicode character; but on reverse, the Unicode character is converted to the "NEC"/"JIS" code point. For example: X'8754'or X'FA4A' ==> U+2160 ==> X'FA4A' (using the DB2 default CCSID 943<-->Unicode conversion tables) X'8754'or X'FA4A' ==> U+2160 ==> X'8754'(using the Microsoft version of CCSID 943<-->Unicode conversion tables) X'879C' or X'81BE' ==> U+222A ==> X'81BE' (using either the DB2 default or Microsoft version of CCSID 943<-->Unicode conversion tables) There are also some characters in CCSID 943 that can be converted into two different Unicode characters, depending on whether the DB2 default conversion table or the Microsoft version of the conversion table is used. For example, the double-byte dash character X'815C' in CCSID 943 is converted to the Unicode character U+2014 when using the DB2 default CCSID 943 to Unicode conversion table, but X'815C' is converted to the Unicode character U+2015 instead when using the Microsoft version of the conversion table. If you want DB2 to use the Microsoft version of the conversion tables, follow the procedure below after installation is complete. Prerequisites Before replacing the existing external code page conversion table files in the sqllib/conv directory, you may want to back them up first. On UNIX, sqllib/conv/ is linked to the install path of DB2. Procedure To use the Microsoft version of the CCSID 943 to/from Unicode conversion table files: Copy: sqllib/conv/ms/0943ucs2.cnv to sqllib/conv/0943ucs2.cnv sqllib/conv/ms/ucs20943.cnv to sqllib/conv/ucs20943.cnv sqllib/conv/ms/0941ucs2.cnv to sqllib/conv/0941ucs2.cnv sqllib/conv/ms/ucs20941.cnv to sqllib/conv/ucs20941.cnv Restart DB2. The use of these Microsoft conversion tables is restricted to closed environment between DB2 943 database and DB2 943 clients using the Microsoft version of the conversion tables. If we have a DB2 943 client using the default DB2 conversion tables, and another DB2 943 client using the Microsoft version of the conversion tables, and both clients are connected to the same DB2 943 database, then the same character may be stored as two different code points in the DB2 943 database. 2.7 Known problems and workarounds 2.7.1 Restriction on the db2look command You cannot use the "-f" option of the db2look command from a DB2 Version 7. 2 client at any Version 7 FixPak level. This restriction has been removed in DB2 Version 8. 2.7.2 Additional command modifiers Modifiers have been added to the EXPORT, IMPORT, and LOAD commands. The EXPORT command has the additional modifiers: Table 1. Additional File Type Modifiers (Export) Modifier Description striplzeros Removes the leading zeros from all exported decimal columns. db2 create table decimalTable ( c1 decimal( 31, 2 )) db2 insert into decimalTable values ( 1.1 ) db2 export to data of del select * from decimalTable Content of Exported file data +00000000000000000000000000001.10 db2 export to data of del modified by STRIPLZEROS select * from decimalTable Content of Exported file data +1.10 The IMPORT command has the following additional modifiers: Table 2. Additional File Type Modifiers (Import) Modifier Description timestampformat="x" x is the format of the time stamp in the source file.4 Valid time stamp elements are: YYYY - Year (four digits ranging from 0000 - 9999) M - Month (one or two digits ranging from 1 - 12) MM - Month (two digits ranging from 01 - 12; mutually exclusive with M and MMM) D - Day (one or two digits ranging from 1 - 31) DD - Day (two digits ranging from 01 - 31; mutually exclusive with D) DDD - Day of the year (three digits ranging from 001 - 366; mutually exclusive with other day or month elements) H - Hour (one or two digits ranging from 0 - 12 for a 12 hour system, and 0 - 24 for a 24 hour system) HH - Hour (two digits ranging from 0 - 12 for a 12 hour system, and 0 - 24 for a 24 hour system; mutually exclusive with H) M - Minute (one or two digits ranging from 0 - 59) MM - Minute (two digits ranging from 0 - 59; mutually exclusive with M, minute) S - Second (one or two digits ranging from 0 - 59) SS - Second (two digits ranging from 0 - 59; mutually exclusive with S) SSSSS - Second of the day after midnight (5 digits ranging from 00000 - 86399; mutually exclusive with other time elements) UUUUUU - Microsecond (6 digits ranging from 000000 - 999999; mutually exclusive with all other microsecond elements) UUUUU - Microsecond (5 digits ranging from 00000 - 99999, maps to range from 000000 - 999990; mutually exclusive with all other microseond elements) UUUU - Microsecond (4 digits ranging from 0000 - 9999, maps to range from 000000 - 999900; mutually exclusive with all other microseond elements) UUU - Microsecond (3 digits ranging from 000 - 999, maps to range from 000000 - 999000; mutually exclusive with all other Microseond elements) UU - Microsecond (2 digits ranging from 00 - 99, maps to range from 000000 - 990000; mutually exclusive with all other microseond elements) U - Microsecond (1 digits ranging from 0 - 9, maps to range from 000000 - 900000; mutually exclusive with all other Microseond elements) TT - Meridian indicator (AM or PM) A default value of 1 is assigned for unspecified YYYY, M, MM, D, DD, or DDD elements. A default value of 0 is assigned for all other unspecified elements. Following is an example of a time stamp format: "YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS.UUUUUU" The following example illustrates how to import data containing user-defined date and time formats into a table called 'schedule': db2 import from delfile2 of del modified by timestampformat="yyyy.mm.dd hh:mm tt" insert into schedule The LOAD command has the following additional modifiers: Table 3. Additional File Type Modifiers (Load) Modifier Description timestampformat="x" x is the format of the time stamp in the source file.4 Valid time stamp elements are: YYYY - Year (four digits ranging from 0000 - 9999) M - Month (one or two digits ranging from 1 - 12) MM - Month (two digits ranging from 01 - 12; mutually exclusive with M and MMM) D - Day (one or two digits ranging from 1 - 31) DD - Day (two digits ranging from 01 - 31; mutually exclusive with D) DDD - Day of the year (three digits ranging from 001 - 366; mutually exclusive with other day or month elements) H - Hour (one or two digits ranging from 0 - 12 for a 12 hour system, and 0 - 24 for a 24 hour system) HH - Hour (two digits ranging from 0 - 12 for a 12 hour system, and 0 - 24 for a 24 hour system; mutually exclusive with H) M - Minute (one or two digits ranging from 0 - 59) MM - Minute (two digits ranging from 0 - 59; mutually exclusive with M, minute) S - Second (one or two digits ranging from 0 - 59) SS - Second (two digits ranging from 0 - 59; mutually exclusive with S) SSSSS - Second of the day after midnight (5 digits ranging from 00000 - 86399; mutually exclusive with other time elements) UUUUUU - Microsecond (6 digits ranging from 000000 - 999999; mutually exclusive with all other microsecond elements) UUUUU - Microsecond (5 digits ranging from 00000 - 99999, maps to range from 000000 - 999990; mutually exclusive with all other microseond elements) UUUU - Microsecond (4 digits ranging from 0000 - 9999, maps to range from 000000 - 999900; mutually exclusive with all other microseond elements) UUU - Microsecond (3 digits ranging from 000 - 999, maps to range from 000000 - 999000; mutually exclusive with all other Microseond elements) UU - Microsecond (2 digits ranging from 00 - 99, maps to range from 000000 - 990000; mutually exclusive with all other microseond elements) U - Microsecond (1 digits ranging from 0 - 9, maps to range from 000000 - 900000; mutually exclusive with all other Microseond elements) TT - Meridian indicator (AM or PM) A default value of 1 is assigned for unspecified YYYY, M, MM, D, DD, or DDD elements. A default value of 0 is assigned for all other unspecified elements. Following is an example of a time stamp format: "YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS.UUUUUU" The following example illustrates how to import data containing user-defined date and time formats into a table called 'schedule': db2 import from delfile2 of del modified by timestampformat="yyyy.mm.dd hh:mm tt" insert into schedule 2.7.3 Using APPC listener If you have APPC listener started for your DB2 instance, stop your DB2 instance before stopping your APPC/SNA software. 2.7.4 Correction to Performance Variable Starting in the Release Notes for Version 7 FixPak 6 (and in FixPaks 7 and 8), there is an error in a performance variable name. In "Chapter 13. Configuring DB2" the section "DB2 Registry and Environment Variables" lists Table 5 Performance Variables. In this table a registry variable name is incorrect. The correction is: the variable name DB2_MINIMIZE_LIST_PREFETCH should be DB2_MINIMIZE_LISTPREFETCH. This correction affects FixPak 6, 7, and 8. 2.7.5 Informix Federated support for DB2 Information Integrator The Informix Federated support for DB2 Information Integrator was added starting in DB2 UDB Version 7 FixPak 4. If you have problems installing and configuring it (that is, informix script or related libraries are not installed), you should call the DB2 Support Team for help. 2.7.6 Data corruption after moving from DB2 Version 7 FixPak 8 or earlier to a later Version 7 FixPak or to DB2 Version 8 If you are using JDBC and JTA to connect to a Unicode database, you may experience corruption for in your CHAR, VARCHAR, and CLOB data after you migrate to DB2 UDB Version 7 FixPak 9, or to DB2 UDB Version 8. The corruption only affects data with a hexadecimal value between 80 and FF. Characters in the normal ASCII range are not affected. For more information, refer to the "Data corruption after moving from DB2 Version 7 FixPak 8 or earlier to a later Version 7 FixPak or to DB2 Version 8" technote. 2.7.7 Application Development and supported software update For application development and supported software updates, visit the DB2 application development Web site at: http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/ad/v7 2.7.8 Informix Federated support for DB2 Relational Connect Informix Federated support for DB2 Relational Connect was added in DB2 FixPak 4. If you have problems during installation or configuration (informix script and/or related libraries not installed with FixPak 4), you should call DB2 Support Team for help. 2.7.9 Loss of Control Center functionality There should be no problems introduced against back-level Control Center clients by applying FixPak 2 or FixPak 3 to a DB2 server. However, in DB2 Version 7.2, back-level Control Center clients will lose nearly all functionality. Back-level in this case refers to any Version 6 client prior to FixPak 6, and any Version 7 client prior to FixPak 2. Version 5 clients are not affected. The suggested fix is to upgrade any affected clients. Version 6 clients must be upgraded to FixPak 6 or later, and Version 7 clients must be upgraded to FixPak 2 or later. 2.7.10 Restoring backup images created under FixPak 4 or greater When the RELOCATE USING option is used with the db2inidb command, the user provided configuration file is copied into the database directory (for example, SQL00001) and is renamed db2path.cfg. If the database was initialized as a snapshot, then the db2path.cfg file is removed after the necessary crash recovery completes. However, if the database was initialized as a standby, then the file will only be removed after the database is taken out of the rollforward pending or in-progress state (by stopping or cancelling the rollforward). Standby databases that do not contain SMS table spaces can be backed up when in the rollforward pending or in-progress state. If the db2path.cfg file exists for such a database, then it will be included in the backup image. Because this file is new to V7 beginning with FixPak 4, a restoration of an image containing this file will fail on any V7 level earlier than FixPak 4. If restoring from such a backup image, the instance must be running with a DB2 level of FixPak 4 or greater. 2.7.11 Merant Driver Manager If you are using the Merant Driver Manager, see "Merant Driver Manager and the DB2 UDB Version 7 ODBC Driver on UNIX" in the General Installation, Migration and Configuration Information section of the Release Notes. 2.7.12 Updates into local tables in federated systems You can perform insert, update, and delete operations into local tables in an MPP federated environment. Although a workaround for INSERT statements was provided in FixPak 4, the workaround is no longer needed. This capability is fully enabled in FixPak 9.
