Release Notes


DB2 Universal Database Quick Tour

The Quick Tour is not available on DB2 for Linux or Linux/390.

The Quick Tour is optimized to run with small system fonts. You may have to adjust your Web browser's font size to correctly view the Quick Tour on OS/2. Refer to your Web browser's help for information on adjusting font size. To view the Quick Tour correctly (SBCS only), it is recommended that you use an 8-point Helv font. For Japanese and Korean customers, it is recommended that you use an 8-point Mincho font. When you set font preferences, be sure to select the "Use my default fonts, overriding document-specified fonts" option in the Fonts page of the Preference window.

In some cases the Quick Tour may launch behind a secondary browser window. To correct this problem, close the Quick Tour, and follow the steps in 3.4, Error Messages when Attempting to Launch Netscape.

When launching the Quick Tour, you may receive a JavaScript error similar to the following:

   file:/C/Program Files/SQLLIB/doc/html/db2qt/index4e.htm, line 65:
 
   Window is not defined.

This JavaScript error prevents the Quick Tour launch page, index4e.htm, from closing automatically after the Quick Tour is launched. You can close the Quick Tour launch page by closing the browser window in which index4e.htm is displayed.

In the "What's New" section, under the Data Management topic, it is stated that "on-demand log archive support" is supported in Version 7.1. This is not the case. It is also stated that:

   The size of the log files has been increased from 4GB to 32GB.

This sentence should read:

   The total active log space has been increased from 4GB to 32GB.

The section describing the DB2 Data Links Manager contains a sentence that reads:

   Also, it now supports the use of the Veritas XBSA interface
   for backup and restore using NetBackup.

This sentence should read:
