Installation Notes 2.1 Pre-requisites You must have Korn Shell installed before installing DB2 on Linux You should have the DB2 UDB V7.1 already installed before installing this Fixpak. To determine if the the required pre-requistes 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 2.1.1 Prerequisites for APAR IX73249 Prerequisites for APAR IX73249 Incorrect Output for DB2 LIST DCS APPLICATIONS SHOW DETAIL The DB2 for MVS APAR PQ11645 must be applied in conjunction with DB2 Connect APAR IX73249 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 do the following for each instance: su - ioname . $HOME/sqllib/db2profile db2 force applications all db2 terminate db2stop db2licd end exit where ioname is the instance owner name. Then, while still logged on as root, do the following: su - dasname . $HOME/sqllib/db2profile db2admin stop exit /usr/sbin/slibclean where dasname is the admin server name. 2.3 Installation Instructions To install the fixpak, su - root cd ./installpatch 2.4 After Installation 2.4.1 Update Instances For each instance, issue the command: Note that you need to be logged in as user root to update the instance /usr/IBMdb2/V7.1/instance/db2iupdt ioname where ioname is the instance name. For DAS instance, issue the command: /usr/IBMdb2/V7.1/instance/dasiupdt dasname where dasname is the das instance name. 2.4.2 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. 2.4.2.1 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. 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. 2.4.2.2 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 "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. 2.4.2.3 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 3.
