If you have received special fixes from IBM support since 12/11/2001, then you must contact IBM support to request an updated version of the special fixes instead of installing this FixPak. By doing this, you are assured that your system is in a consistent state and no special fixes are lost. This README file contains information for the following products and components: * DB2 Application Development Client, Version 7 FixPak 5 * DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition, Version 7 FixPak 5 * DB2 Run-Time Client, Version 7 FixPak 5 * DB2 UDB Enterprise Edition, Version 7 FixPak 5 For additional information on changes to the product, review the product Release Notes: /usr/IBMdb2/V7.1/Readme/%L/Release.Notes where %L is the locale name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LINUX (S/390) Installation Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.1 Prerequisites You must have Korn Shell installed before installing DB2 on Linux. You must have ncurses version 4 installed before installing DB2 for Linux. Contact your Linux vendor for information on obtaining this. You should have DB2 UDB V7.2 or DB2 UDB V7.1 with FixPak 3 or greater already installed before installing this FixPak. To determine if the required prerequisites are installed, issue the following command: rpm -qa | grep db2 The output of the command should include the following: db2cliv71-7.1.0-x where "x" is the fix level, and is 40 or higher. 2.1.1 MVS APAR PQ11645 Incorrect Output for DB2 LIST DCS APPLICATIONS SHOW DETAIL The DB2 for MVS APAR PQ11645 must be applied in order to provide the meaningful correlation token display on both the LIST DCS APPLICATIONS and the DB2 MVS DSP THD commands. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.2 Prior to Installation Logon as root and enter the following commands for each instance: su - ioname . $HOME/sqllib/db2profile db2 force applications all db2 terminate db2stop db2licd end # run at each physical node exit where ioname is the instance owner name. Then, while still logged on as root, enter the following commands: su - aname . $HOME/sqllib/db2profile db2admin stop exit where aname is the administration server name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.3 Installation Instructions To install the FixPak: su - root cd ./installpatch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.4 After Installation 2.4.1 Update Instances Note: You need to be logged on as root to update the instances. For each instance, issue the command: /usr/IBMdb2/V7.1/instance/db2iupdt iname where iname is the instance name. For the DAS instance, issue the command: /usr/IBMdb2/V7.1/instance/dasiupdt dasname where dasname is 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 3 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 3 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. WARNING about use of db2updv7: If you intend to issue the db2updv7 command, you must be aware that it will change the database to run only with Version 7.1 FixPak 3 (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, outlined below, 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 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 Please refer to "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 re-bind 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 is the name of the bind file, and is the name of your database. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.5 Special Notes 2.5.1 Loss of Control Center Functionality There should be no problems introduced against downlevel Control Center clients by applying FixPak 2 or FixPak 3 to a DB2 server. However, in DB2 Version 7.2, downlevel Control Center clients will lose nearly all functionality. Downlevel 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. 2.5.2 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 to db2path.cfg. If the database was initialized as a snapshot then the db2path.cfg file will be 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/in-progress state (by stopping or cancelling the rollforward). Databases can be backed up when in the rollforward pending/in-progress state. If the db2path.cfg file exists then it will be included in the backup image. Because this file is new to V7 beginning with FixPak 4, a restore 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Service ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3.1 Product and Service Technical Library For a complete and up-to-date source of DB2 information, including information on issues discovered after this readme was published, go to the following web sites: DB2 Product and Service Technical Library: http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/library DB2 Universal Database and DB2 Connect Online Support: http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/winos2unix/support DB2 Universal Database and DB2 Connect Online Support - Technical Library Search: http://www-4.ibm.com/cgi-bin/db2www/data/db2/udb/winos2unix/support/techlib.d2w/report ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3.2 Customer Support To speak to an IBM representative regarding assistance with this product, call 1-800-237-5511.
