If you have received interim fixes from IBM support after 05/04/2001, then you must contact IBM support to request an updated version of the interim fixes instead of installing this FixPak. By doing this, you are assured that your system is in a consistent state and no interim fixes are lost. This FixPak will upgrade your system to Version 7.2 on all platforms. This README file contains information for the following products and components: * DB2 Administration Client, V7.1 * DB2 Application Development Client, V7.1 * DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition, V7.1 * DB2 OLAP Starter Kit , V7.1 * DB2 Query Patroller, V7.1 * DB2 Run-Time Client, V7.1 * DB2 UDB Enterprise Edition, V7.1 * DB2 UDB Enterprise-Extended Edition, V7.1 * DB2 UDB Workgroup Edition, V7.1 * DB2 Warehouse Manager, V7.1 For additional information on changes to the product, review the product Release Notes: /opt/IBMdb2/V7.1/Readme/%L/Release.Notes where %L is the locale name. 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 on UNIX**," available from the DB2 Universal Database Online Support web page at http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/winos2unix/support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Solaris Installation Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.1 Prerequisites Before installing this FixPak, you should have one of the above products installed at the following level: 07.01.0.x where x must be less than the product fix level. Use the following command to determine all DB2 UDB packages installed: pkginfo | grep db2 The output of the command should include the following application db2cliv71 DB2 client Application Enabler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 # run at each physical node exit where ioname is the instance owner name. Then, while still logged on as root, do the following: su - aname . $HOME/sqllib/db2profile db2admin stop exit where aname is the admin server name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.3 Installation Instructions To install the FixPak: su - root cd ./installallpatch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.4 After Installation 2.4.1 Update Instances Note: You need to be logged on as user root to update the instances. For each instance, issue the command: /opt/IBMdb2/V7.1/instance/db2iupdt iname where iname is the instance name. Note: If you are running both Enterprise - Extended Edition (EEE) and Enterprise Edition (EE) on the same machine, 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 DAS instance, issue the command: /opt/IBMdb2/V7.1/instance/dasiupdt dasname where dasname is the das instance name. For more information on the db2iupdt command, run db2iupdt with the "-h" option. 2.4.2 Enabling the New SQL Built-in Scalar Functions FixPak 2 and later of Version 7.1 delivers new SQL built-in scalar functions. Refer to the SQL Reference 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. 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 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, 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. 2.4.4 New ODBC Driver for the Data Warehouse Center If you will be using the Data Warehouse Center SUN agent that has been linked to access Merant ODBC sources and will be accessing DB2 databases as well, change the value of the "Driver=" attribute in the DB2 source section of the .odbc.ini file as follows: The Driver name is /opt/IBMdb2/V7.1/lib/libdb2_36.so Here is a sample odbc source entry: [SAMPLE] Driver=/opt/IBMdb2/V7.1/lib/libdb2_36.so Description=DB2 ODBC Database Database=SAMPLE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 to a DB2 server. However, with this FixPak and 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 Using DB2 XML Extender The README.TXT file for DB2 XML Extender Version 7.1 incorrectly states the following under "Considerations": * The default version of DB2 UDB is DB2 UDB Version 7.1. If you wish to use DB2 UDB Version 6.1 on AIX and Solaris, you should ensure that you are running with DB2 UDB V6.1 instances and with the DB2 UDB V6.1 libraries. This is incorrect. The DB2 XML Extender is supported only with DB2 Version 7.1 and 7.2. The readme.sun file incorrectly lists Software Requirements of DB2 UDB Version 6.1 with FixPak FP1_U465424 or higher. This is incorrect. The DB2 XML Extender requires DB2 Version 7.1 or 7.2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
