Welcome to DB2* for Silicon Graphics IRIX** V2.1.2 FixPak U453705 +--- NOTE! ----------------------------------------------------------+ | | Set the font to monospace for better viewing of this README. | | If you have received interim fixes from IBM support after 97/12/14, | then you must contact IBM support instead of installing this FixPak, to | request an updated version of the interim fixes. By doing this, you | are assured that your system is in a consistent state and no interim | fixes are lost. | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1.

Installation Before installing this product, you will have to un-tar the .tar file from the CD-ROM using the "tar -xpf .tar" command. (You will have to uncompress the file first by command "uncompress .tar.Z". The following is a summary of the procedure to install DB2 Client Application Enabler for Silicon Graphics IRIX: 1) Change the directory where you want to restore the files: cd 2) Un-tar the tar file. uncompress /.tar.Z tar -xpf /.tar where is the complete path to the file and is either CAE or SDK. This will restore all the files from the tar file into a subdirectory called "IBMdb2" under the current directory. 3) Install the packages for the product: pkgadd -d /IBMdb2 Note: You must enter the full path for the "IBMdb2" directory in the above command. The base directory for all DB2 for Silicon Graphics IRIX products and packages must be the same. The default base directory is "/opt". 2.1 Enabling JDK 1.1 JDBC Support A JDK 1.1 JDBC driver is included in this FixPak, but it is not active automatically. To enable support for the JDK 1.1 JDBC driver, do the following after the FixPak has been installed: a) Untar jdk11.tar, which is included with this FixPak. It contains 4 files: libdb2jdbc.so, db2jd, db2jstrt, db2java.zip b) Copy these files (from jdk11.tar) into their respective sqllib subdirectories (as shown below). sqllib/lib/libdb2jdbc.so sqllib/bin/db2jd sqllib/bin/db2jstrt sqllib/java/db2java.zip 2.2 APAR IX69806 Information In order to use the fix for APAR IX69806, the keyword "PATCH2=7" (without the quotes) needs to be added to DB2CLI.INI under the data source section. Note that this APAR needs to be applied to handle graphic data type correctly in double byte environments when using certain applications. 3. Rebinding bind files - IMPORTANT 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, outlined below, only needs to be performed once per database. 3.1 Rebinding to DB2 common server 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. Examine the DB2PATH environment variable to determine the correct path. DB2UBIND.LST and DB2CLI.LST contain lists of commonly required bind files used for DB2. If is a DB2 v1.x database, do not bind db2cli.lst. Instead, use the db2cliv1.lst or specifically bind db2clics.bnd, db2cliur.bnd, db2clirr.bnd, and db2cliv1.bnd individually. 3.2 Rebinding to DRDA databases If you are using DDCS 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 Please refer to Chapter 4 "Binding Applications and Utilities" of the DDCS User's Guide for a list of what bind files are used for your specific client operating system. If a bind file changes but your clients do not use that bind file, you do not need to re-bind it. 3.3 Rebinding Specific Packages If you wish to bind only the specific .bnd files to the database, issue the following command for each database (where is the name of the bind file, and is the name of your 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 4. Books PostScript versions of the "Installing and Using DB2 Clients for Silicon Graphics IRIX Guide" and the "DB2 Messages Reference" are available (in compressed form) on this CD-ROM. The manuals are installed in the /opt/IBMdb2/v2.1/doc/%L directory and the filenames for the manuals end with .psz. The books are in the following locations: /opt/IBMdb2/v2.1/doc/en_US/sqljae02.psz Installing and Using DB2 Clients for Silicon Graphics IRIX /opt/IBMdb2/v2.1/doc/en_US/sqlm0e03.psz DB2 Messages Reference To uncompress and print one of the above manuals on a PostScript printer, enter the command: zcat < filename > | lp -d < PSprinter_queue > where < filename > is the name of the compressed PostScript file < PSprinter_queue> represents the name of the PostScript printer queue for your machine. 5.
