1.9 Prior to installing DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p
Please read the Known problems and workarounds sections before
installing DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p.
Before starting the installation, ensure all DB2 processes are stopped.
1. Switch to root authority by running the su - root command.
2. Run the following commands for each instance:
su - iname
. $HOME/sqllib/db2profile
db2 force applications all
db2 terminate
db2stop
db2licd -end # run at each physical node
exit
where iname represents the instance owner name.
If you are a hacmp user, you must use the ha_db2stop command to stop
DB2 instead of the db2stop command. Otherwise, the db2stop command
triggers a failure event.
3. Run the following commands:
su - aname
. $HOME/das/dasprofile
db2admin stop
exit
where aname represents the DAS owner name.
4. On AIX, you should also run slibclean to unload unused shared
libraries from memory before installation:
/usr/sbin/slibclean
5. Stop all instances that are using DB2 Version 8, including the Fault
Monitor if it exists and is using DB2 Version 8.
1.9.1 Setting up Version 8 FixPak 6p (Solaris Operating Environments, AIX
4.3.3, and AIX 5L)
For Solaris Operating Environments and AIX 5L, you need to
have a filesystem with 2 GB of free space to contain the tar.Z file and
the uncompressed installation image, in addition to the disk
requirements of Version 8 FixPak 6p in the installation path.
1.9.2 Data Warehouse functionality (Linux, AIX, and Solaris Operating
Environments)
If you are running Data Warehouse functionality on Linux, for example
the Data Warehouse Agent that comes with some server products, you will
need to back up your /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/bin/IWH.environment. If you have
this file, back it up before applying DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p.
On AIX and Solaris, you should back up the same file (for AIX, this file
is found in /usr/opt/db2_08_01/bin/IWH.environment).
1.10 Installing DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p
Ensure that your system has met all of the installation prerequisites
including operating system patches prior to the installation of DB2
Version 8 FixPak 6p. This action will prevent technical problems that
might occur after the installation and configuration of DB2.
Installation prerequisites are found in either the Installation Notes or
the Information Center.
Please read the Known problems and workarounds sections before
installing DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p.
Restrictions
The following restrictions apply when installing DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p:
* DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p for AIX 5 can only be applied on AIX 5.
* On AIX, the installFixPak script provides installation prerequisite
checking that is not provided when you install DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p
using SMIT or installp. Using SMIT is still supported, but
installFixPak is the only method documented in this readme. For
instructions on using SMIT, see your AIX manuals. It is strongly
recommended that you use the installFixPak script to install DB2
Version 8 FixPak 6p.
* For DB2 Version 8 for HP-UX on IA64, do not use the SAM utility to
install the FixPak. The only supported method to apply the FixPak is
to run the installFixPak command delivered with the current FixPak
image.
* On Linux, once you have installed DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p, you cannot
uninstall it and return to the previous DB2 level.
Procedure
To install DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p:
1. Change to the directory in which the installation image is located.
2. Enter the ./installFixPak command to launch the installation.
Note: By default, the installFixPak command will commit all of the
updated file sets on AIX.
On AIX, if you do not wish to commit the updates, you should issue the
installFixPak command with the -a option (for "apply" as opposed to
"commit") as follows:
./installFixPak -a
1.10.1 After installation
After installing DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p, you must:
* If you have DB2 Relational Connect installed, run the djxlink
command.
* Update instances to use the new level of DB2
* Restart the instances, and
* Re-bind the bind files
1.10.1.1 Relational Connect and the djxlink command
If you have DB2 Relational Connect installed, you must run the djxlink
command after installing DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p and before running
db2iupdt. Perform the following steps:
1. Log on as root.
2. Remove or rename the file djxlink.out, which is located in the
$install_dir/lib/ directory, where $install_dir is the DB2
installation directory.
3. If you are using Relational Connect to connect to an Oracle data
source, set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME to the oracle home
directory.
4. Run the command: djxlink
1.10.1.2 Updating instances to use the new level of DB2
This is mandatory. All instances must be updated after a new level of
DB2 is installed.
You need to be logged on as root to update the instances. For each
instance, issue the command:
INSTHOME/instance/db2iupdt iname
where iname represents the instance name and INSTHOME represents the
installation directory appropriate to your operating system.
Run the dasupdt command if the database administration server (DAS)
instance exists and is a DB2 Version 8 DAS instance. To update the DAS
instance, issue the command:
INSTHOME/instance/dasupdt dasname
where dasname represents the DAS owner name and INSTHOME represents the
installation directory appropriate to your operating system.
For more information on the db2iupdt or dasupdt commands, run these
commands with the -h option.
1.10.1.3 Restarting the instances
To restart an instance:
1. Log in as the instance owner and enter the db2start command.
2. Repeat for each instance.
To restart the administration server, log in as the DAS owner and run
the db2admin start command.
1.10.1.4 Re-binding bind files
You need to bind your DB2 utilities against all your databases after
installation. This step is necessary for the fixes to complete the
installation and ensure that the right code level is used. The
procedure of binding, which follows, needs to be performed only once per
database.
1.10.1.4.1 Re-binding to DB2 UDB databases
After applying fixes, you must do one of the following command
sequences:
At a command prompt, enter:
db2 terminate
db2 CONNECT TO <dbname>
db2 BIND <path>/@db2ubind.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC
db2 BIND <path>/@db2cli.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC
db2 terminate
or,
At the DB2 command line, enter:
TERMINATE
CONNECT TO <dbname>
BIND <path>/@db2ubind.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC
BIND <path>/@db2cli.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC
TERMINATE
Where <dbname> represents the name of a database to which the utilities
should be bound, and where <path> represents the full path name of the
directory where the bind files are located, such as $HOME/sqllib/bnd
where $HOME represents the home directory of the instance for the
database server. db2ubind.lst and db2cli.lst contain lists of required
bind files used by DB2 UDB.
1.10.1.4.2 Re-binding host databases
If you are connecting to host databases, you also need to bind the new
bind files to the host. Use the DB2 Command Line Processor to connect
to the host database and bind the utilities as follows:
HOST COMMAND
======= ===================================================
MVS BIND <path>/@ddcsmvs.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE
VM BIND <path>/@ddcsvm.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE
VSE BIND <path>/@ddcsvse.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE
OS400 BIND <path>/@ddcs400.lst BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC SQLERROR CONTINUE
See "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 bind it.
1.10.1.4.3 Re-binding specific packages
If you want to bind only a specific .bnd file to the database, issue one
of the following command sequences for each database.
At a command prompt, enter:
db2 terminate
db2 CONNECT TO <dbname>
db2 BIND <path>/<bind_file> BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC sqlerror continue
db2 terminate
or,
At the DB2 command line, enter:
TERMINATE
CONNECT TO <dbname>
BIND <path>/<bind_file> BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC sqlerror continue
TERMINATE
where <bind_file> represents the name of the bind file, and <dbname>
represents the name of your database.
1.10.1.4.4 Binding database utilities using the Run-Time Client
The Run-Time Client cannot be used to bind the database utilities
(import, export, reorg, the Command Line Processor) and DB2 CLI bind
files. You must use the DB2 Administration Client or the DB2 Application
Development Client instead.
You must bind the database utilities (import, export, reorg, the Command
Line Processor) and DB2 CLI bind files to each database before they can
be used with that database. In a network environment, if you are using
multiple clients that run on different operating systems or that are at
different DB2 version or service levels, you must bind the utilities
once for each operating system and DB2 client-version combination.
1.10.1.4.5 Bind db2schema.bnd to existing databases
After installation on the server, an additional bind file needs to be
bound to existing databases. This requirement does not apply to clients.
Procedure
To bind db2schema.bnd on the server, execute one of these command
sequences:
At a command prompt:
db2 terminate
db2 CONNECT TO <dbname>
db2 BIND <path>/db2schema.bnd BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC sqlerror continue
db2 terminate
or,
At the DB2 command line:
TERMINATE
CONNECT TO <dbname>
BIND <path>/db2schema.bnd BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC sqlerror continue
TERMINATE
where <dbname> represents the name of a database to which the utilities
should be bound, and where <path> is the full path name of the directory
where the bind files are located.
1.10.1.4.6 Rebinding after FixPak or patch installation
If you have existing spatial-enabled databases, you must rebind the list
file db2gse.lst after you install a DB2 FixPak or patch. The db2gse.lst
file contains the names of the bind files for the stored procedures that
DB2 Spatial Extender provides.
Prerequisites
To bind the db2gse.lst file, you must have one of the following
authorities:
* sysadm or dbadm authority
* ALTERIN privilege on the schema
* BIND privilege on the package
Procedure
To rebind the db2gse.lst file:
1. Change to the instance directory where the bind files are located.
a. On Windows, open a DB2 command window and enter the following
command:
cd %DB2PATH%\bnd
b. On UNIX, enter the following command:
cd $HOME/sqllib/bnd
where $HOME is the instance owner's home directory.
2. Connect to the database and execute the BIND command. For example,
enter:
db2 connect to dbname
db2 bind /home/instance/sqllib/bnd/@db2gse.lst
db2 terminate
You can use the DB2RBIND command with the ALL option instead of the BIND
command. For syntax and options for the BIND and DB2RBIND commands,
refer to the DB2 Command Reference.
1.10.1.5 Restrictions to adding products using the db2setup command
Once a DB2 product has been installed, additional DB2 products can be
added. If you use the db2setup command to add products the following
recommendations and restrictions apply.
Recommendations
Both the installed product and the product being added should be at the
same code level. For example, DB2 ESE Server Version 8 FixPak 5 is
already installed and you want to add the DB2 Information Integrator
product. In this case, DB2 Information Integrator should also be at the
Version 8 FixPak 5 level.
Restrictions
* If the DB2 fixpak level is higher than the fixpak level of the
product being added, the combination is allowed. However, since the
fixpak level of the product being added is lower than the DB2 fixpak
level, the DB2 fixpak level must be reapplied after installing the
additional product. See the appropriate FixPak Readme for
instructions to reapply the fixpak.
* If the DB2 fixpak level is lower than the fixpak level of the product
being added, an error is generated. The product being added cannot be
at a higher fixpak level than DB2. In this case, you must first bring
DB2 to the appropriate level, then install the additional product.
See the appropriate FixPak Readme for instructions.
The following table summarizes the db2setup combinations:
Table 1. db2setup combinations
+----------+--------------+-------------------------------------------+
| DB2 | Additional | Is this combination permitted? |
| fixpak | product | |
| level | fixpak level | |
+----------+--------------+-------------------------------------------+
| Version | Version 8 | Yes. This is recommended. |
| 8 FixPak | FixPak 3 | |
| 3 | | |
+----------+--------------+-------------------------------------------+
| Version | Version 8 GA | Yes, but Version 8 FixPak 3 must be |
| 8 FixPak | | reapplied. See the appropriate FixPak |
| 3 | | Readme for instructions to reapply the |
| | | fixpak by going to the DB2 Support Web |
| | | site. |
+----------+--------------+-------------------------------------------+
| Version | Version 8 | No. DB2 must first be brought to the |
| 8 FixPak | FixPak 5 | higher fix pack level (in this example, |
| 3 | | Version 8 FixPak 5) before installing the |
| | | additional product. See the appropriate |
| | | FixPak Readme for instructions to install |
| | | the required Version 8 FixPak by going to |
| | | the DB2 Support Web site. |

1.11 Installation of a FixPak or a modification level from a directory
path
When you download and untar a FixPak or a modification level, make sure
that there are no spaces in your directory path where the file was
located. If there are spaces in your directory path the installation
will fail. For example, make sure your directory path resembles the
following:
/home/DB2FixPak/FP6p/ ...
It should not resemble the following:
/home/DB2 FixPak/FP6p/ ...
1.12 Applying a FixPak or a modification level for Data Links Manager

dlfm start
1.12 Uninstalling FixPaks or modification levels on Linux or UNIX
Note: If you have received special fixes from IBM Support that you have
applied to the DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p level, you will lose all of
the special fixes when you uninstall DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p. The
special fixes you received from IBM Support are only applicable to
your current version. You should not apply the same special fixes
on top of any backlevel version. If this applies to you, contact
IBM Support before uninstalling DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p.
Before uninstalling DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p, ensure that you:
* Stop all instances and DAS
* Backup your data
AIX If DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p was installed and the file sets were
applied but not committed, DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p can be
rejected using SMIT. See the SMIT documentation for more
details.
If the file sets were committed when DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p was
installed, which is the default, then DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p
cannot be rejected. The only course of action available is to
uninstall DB2 from your system, reinstall DB2 Version 8, and
bring DB2 up to the desired level by applying the corresponding
level of DB2.
HP-UX DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p file sets can be uninstalled using the
sam utility. If you use swlist or sam, you can list all file
sets for DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p and receive output similar to
the following:
PDB2_810100010 8.1.0.8
PDB2_810100011 8.1.0.8
PDB2_810300011 8.1.0.24
PDB2_810300010 8.1.0.24
The installation signature is combined with the name of the
file set. You should uninstall the group of PDB2_* file sets
with the same signature starting with the largest number. You
can remove DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p, or the latest version plus
the second last, and so on. You can also select them all.
Linux You cannot uninstall DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p on Linux. The only
course of action available is to uninstall DB2 from your
system, reinstall DB2 Version 8, and bring DB2 up to the
desired level by applying the corresponding level of DB2. A
db2_deinstall script is provided with DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p
which will uninstall DB2 from your system.
Solaris Operating Environment
The backoutallpatch script is provided with all version images.
Run this script to uninstall DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p and leave
the system in the state that it was before installing DB2
Version 8 FixPak 6p. You can find this script in
/var/sadm/patch. The script will be named
backoutallpatch.8.1.x.y where 8.1.x.y corresponds to the VRMF
of DB2 Version 8 FixPak 6p. The files required to uninstall a
FixPak or modification level are stored in /var/sadm. Disk
space requirements for each FixPak or modification level in
/var/sadm can reach almost the same amount of disk space
required by DB2 in /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1.
You must uninstall from the highest to the lowest level until
you have uninstalled the version that you want to remove. For
example if you are at FixPak 3 and installed FixPak 1 and
modification level 2 before FixPak 3 was installed, you would
not be able to uninstall FixPak 1 unless you have uninstalled
modification level 2 and FixPak 3.
Update all instances, including the DAS instance.
1.13 Known problems and workarounds (Version 8 FixPak 6p)
1.13.1 New parameter -- db2sqljcustomize - DB2 SQLJ Profile Customizer
Command
-storebindoptions
Stores the value of the -bindoptions and -staticpositioned
values in the serialized profile. If these values are not
specified when invoking the dbsqljbind tool, the values stored
in the serialized profile is used. When the Customizer is
invoked with .grp file, the values are stored in each
individual .ser file. The stored values can be viewed using
db2sqljprint tool.
1.13.2 New parameter -- sqlj - DB2 SQLJ Translator Command
-db2optimize
Specifies that the SQLJ translator generates code for a
connection context class that is optimized for DB2. This
option optimizes the code for the user-defined context but not
for the default context. When you run the SQLJ translator with
this option, the DB2 Universal JDBC Driver file db2jcc.jar
must be in the CLASSPATH for compiling the generated Java
application.
1.13.3 Installing Query Patroller at FixPak 3 level or later
Query Patroller is a query management system used to control the flow of
queries against your DB2 database. In DB2 Version 8.1.2, DB2 Query
Patroller became a stand-alone product. It was no longer a component of
the DB2 Warehouse Manager.
If you have DB2 Version 8 FixPak 3 or later installed and you install
the DB2 Query Patroller base or GA version, you must reapply the DB2
FixPak level. Otherwise, the Query Patroller changes are not applied at
the DB2 FixPak level.
If you are installing the Query Patroller server, you must also update
the DB2 instances after reapplying the DB2 FixPak level. This is
mandatory. See the Updating instances to use the new level of DB2
section in this readme for details. After the instances are updated they
must be restarted. See the Restarting the instances section of this
readme for details. Updating instances to use the new level of DB2, and,
Restarting the instances are subsections of the After installation
section.
1.13.4 Replication for Informix sources
Replication for Informix sources is no longer dependent on timestamp
values. This enhancement eliminates issues that would arise during a
backward time change, such as daylight savings in October.
To take advantage of this enhancement, you must migrate any existing
registrations and subscriptions for Informix sources as described in IBM
Support Technote 1165347, "Migrating Informix source triggers in DB2
DataPropagator 8.1 FP 5". To access the Technote, perform the following
steps.
1. Open a Web browser
2. Go to the DB2 DataPropagator Support Web page at
http://www.ibm.com/software/data/dpropr/support.html
3. Enter 1165347 in the Search support for this product area of the
page, then click Submit.
1.14 Known problems and workarounds (prior to Version 8 FixPak 6p)
1.14.1 Recommended application server for deploying DB2 Web Tools
The recommended application server for deploying DB2 Web Tools is the
embedded application server for DB2. The recommended method is to use
the automated script that is provided.
To deploy DB2 Web Tools on the embedded application server for DB2, the
following order is recommended:
1. Installing the application server for DB2
2. Starting the application server for DB2
3. Deploying automatically on the application server for DB2
For detailed instructions for each step, see the DB2 Information Center.
These additions to the following sections must also be noted.
1.14.1.1 Installing the application server -- additional prerequisite
The application server for DB2 requires DB2 ESE Version 8.1.2 or higher.
1.14.1.2 Installing the application server -- additional restriction
The default Red Hat installation creates an association between the
hostname of the machine and the loopback address, 127.0.0.1. In
addition, the /etc/nsswitch.conf file is set up to use /etc/hosts before
trying to look up the server using a name server (DNS). This loopback
processing can hang utilities that start and stop a server, such as
startServer.sh, even though the server might successfully start or stop.
Ensure that the host name is defined properly. The default configuration
has localhost defined in the /etc/hosts file. The default
/etc/nsswitch.conf looks only at the host file and not the DNS server.
To correct this problem, remove the 127.0.0.1 mapping to localhost in
the /etc/hosts file, or, edit the name service configuration file
/etc/nsswitch.conf to resolve the proper host name by using the name
server. For example, remove the 127.0.0.1 mapping from the /etc/hosts
file, which might look like this example:
# IP Address name of machine
n.n.n.n hostname.domain.com
127.0.0.1 localhost
Otherwise, change the etc/nsswitch.conf file to search DNS before
searching the hosts file. For example, hosts : dns files
1.14.1.3 Deploying automatically on the application server for DB2 --
additional prerequisite
The application server for DB2 requires DB2 ESE Version 8.1.2 or higher.
The command to automatically deploy DB2 Web Tools requires the DB2
instance name be specified:
1. Change to the <AS_root>/bin directory and run the deploy_db2wa
script:
<AS_root>/bin/db2wa_deploy -db2path db2path -instance instanceName
where:
* <AS_root> is the installation path for the application server for
DB2.
* db2path is the installation path for DB2.
* instanceName is the DB2 instance name.
For example:
db2wa_deploy.sh -db2path /home/db2v8/sqlib -instance db2v8
2. Invoke the DB2 Web Tools enterprise application from a browser by
entering the following:
http://hostname:<port_number>/db2wa
where:
* hostname is the name of the DB2 server.
* port_number is 20000 by default, unless modified after the
installation of the application server.
1.14.2 DB2 Setup Wizard appears not to run using Exceed (Linux)
When using Hummingbird(R) Exceed PC X Server software to connect to a
Linux computer from a computer running Microsoft(R) Windows, the DB2
Setup wizard may not appear to run. This problem arises when Exceed is
configured to use multiple window mode, with the Window Manager set to
"Default to Native" and with the communications mode set to "Passive".
The symptoms you may observe include:
1. The DB2 Setup Launchpad appears quite small, as small as 5 pixels x 5
pixels, and will need to be resized before it can be used.
2. Even after resizing, the DB2 Setup Launchpad sometimes will not paint
properly and instead appears as a blank grey panel.
To run the DB2 Setup Wizard on a Linux computer using Exceed, change
either of the following Exceed configuration settings:
* Change the Window Manager setting to "Native" and ensure the "Use
Native WM for Embedded Clients" check box is checked, or,
* Change the Window Mode to "Single" and the communication mode from
"Passive" to "XDCMP-query".
1.14.3 DB2 Data Links Manager installation when DB2 Enterprise Server
Edition already installed
The DB2 Data Links Manager installation will fail when creating the dlfm
instance if DB2 ESE is already installed on the machine. The workaround
is to modify the response file and continue or to perform a response
file installation to install the DB2 Data Links Manager. For more
information on response files, see the Installation and Configuration
Supplement or search for "response file" in the Information Center.
