IBM DB2 Universal Database Version 8.2 (Version 8.1 FixPak 7) Readme Contents 1.0 Installing IBM DB2 Universal Database(TM) Version 8.2 (Version 8.1 FixPak 7) (Windows) 1.1 Installation delivery 1.2 Pre-installation 1.2.1 Prerequisites 1.2.2 Product fix history 1.2.3 Prior to installing DB2 Version 8.2 1.3 Installation of DB2 UDB Version 8.2 1.3.1 Installing a single Version 8.2 product 1.3.2 Installing multiple Version 8.2 products 1.3.3 Installing Version 8.2 using a response file 1.3.4 Installing Version 8.2 in an MSCS environment 1.4 Post-installation 1.4.1 Enabling the DB2 Remote Command Service 1.4.2 Re-binding bind files 2.0 Migrating database directory files from Version 8.2 back to Version 8.1 3.0 Known problems and workarounds 3.1 Known problems and workarounds (Version 8.2) 3.1.1 Distributed transaction support 3.1.2 New reason code for SQL5099N 3.1.3 Automatic setting of default prefetch size and update defaults 4.0 How to get help 4.1 Where to download the FixPak installation images 5.0 Reference 5.1 PTF information 5.2 Product abbreviations 5.3 Supported languages for DB2 clients available from the FTP site 5.4 Supported products and components by operating system 5.5 Language identifiers 5.6 DB2 Version 8.2 Command line parameters 5.6.1 Setup command options 6.0 Notices 1.0 Installing IBM DB2 Universal Database(TM) Version 8.2 (Version 8.1 FixPak 7) (Windows) Before installing DB2 Universal Database (UDB) Version 8.2 (Version 8.1 FixPak 7), read the appropriate sections of this readme that apply to your installation. 1.1 Installation delivery Starting with DB2 UDB Version 8 for Windows FixPak 3, IBM is providing product-specific FixPaks instead of one general FixPak. This change affects only DB2 Version 8 products on Windows platforms. This new delivery mechanism provides the following advantages: * Less disk space is required on the operating system drive. * The overall amount of disk space required for the installation is reduced. * Easier installation for rollout scenarios at a FixPak or modification level later than Version 8 General Availability (GA) level. If you have only one DB2 Version 8 for Windows product installed, you need to download the corresponding product-specific FixPak. If you have more than one DB2 Version 8 for Windows product installed on the same system, you must download and uncompress all of the corresponding product-specific FixPaks before starting the FixPak installation process. For example, if you have DB2 Enterprise Server Edition and DB2 Warehouse Manager installed, you must download and uncompress both DB2 Enterprise Server Edition (ESE) and DB2 Warehouse Manager (WM). You can uncompress the DB2 products into the directory path of your choice, however, you need to consider how you plan to install DB2 Version 8.2: * If you plan to install DB2 Version 8.2 using the DB2 Setup wizard GUI, the setup command detects the other installed DB2 products. If all product images are uncompressed into subdirectories under the same parent directory, the setup command automatically launches the installation of all DB2 products without prompting you. If product images are uncompressed into different directories, the setup command detects the other installed DB2 products and prompts you for each directory path. * If you plan to install DB2 Version 8.2 in silent mode, all the product images must be uncompressed into subdirectories under the same parent directory. See the "Installation of DB2 UDB Version 8.2" section for details. If you do not already have a DB2 Version 8 for Windows product installed, the installation proceeds but the products go into Try & Buy mode, a complementary copy for a limited time. The delivery mechanism supports all installation scenarios. Note: You must have the product license installed before installing a refresh image of either the DB2 Information Integrator Relational Wrapper product or the DB2 Information Integrator Nonrelational Wrapper product. Otherwise, you receive an error message. If you do not already have either of these products installed, the installation does not go into Try & Buy mode. 1.2 Pre-installation This section details the prerequisite information (including software, hardware, and operating system prerequisites) you need, points to where the product fix history is located, and lists the tasks that must be performed prior to installing DB2 UDB. 1.2.1 Prerequisites Consult the following Web sites for the latest software, hardware, operating system and product fix information: 1. For operating system requirements, see * http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/sysreqs.html 2. For a list of all fixed bugs (called APARs) and support news, see * http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/support.html If you have received special fixes from IBM support, you must contact IBM support before you install DB2 UDB Version 8.2 to check if you need an updated version of the special fixes. This helps to ensure that your system is in a consistent state and that no special fixes are lost. You must have a DB2(R) product Version 8 installed at a lower VRMF level than DB2 Version 8.2 before you install Version 8.2. If you have a DB2 Version 8 product already installed, it must be at a lower service level than DB2 Version 8.2. There are various methods to determine the version and level of the currently installed DB2 product. You can: * Enter the db2level command from a command prompt. The command displays the informational tokens, for example "DB2 v8.1.5.xxx" indicates FixPak 5 is installed. * Open the Control panel and select Add/Remove Programs. Look for entries starting with DB2. These are the DB2 products installed on your computer. Click on the support information link to display the version installed. For example, Version 8.1.3 indicates FixPak 3 is installed. * Enter the regedit command from a command prompt and check the following values under the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\DB2\\CurrentVersion\Version HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\DB2\\CurrentVersion\Release HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\DB2\\CurrentVersion\Modification The following values should display: * Version "8" * Release "1" * Modification "x" where x should be lower than the level of the DB2 Version 8.2. The values for Version, Release, and Modification correspond to the first three numbers of the VRMF number. The value for Modification in the registry for the currently installed products must be less than the third number of the VRMF number for DB2 Version 8.2, which is "7". 1.2.2 Product fix history For a list of all product fixes (APARs) and support news, see Web site * http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/support.html 1.2.3 Prior to installing DB2 Version 8.2 Read the Known problems and workarounds sections before installing DB2 Version 8.2. Before starting the installation, you must also: * Verify that you have enough space to install the FixPak or the modification level. You need enough space to uncompress the self-extracting zip file. * Ensure that your system has met all of the installation prerequisites including operating system patches. This prevents technical problems that might occur after the installation and configuration of DB2 products. * If you have DB2 Version 8 products already installed, ensure all DB2 processes and all DB2 services are stopped. To stop all instances stop all database activity, issue the following commands: db2stop db2admin stop Use the services control panel applet to stop the DB2 services (Control Panel ->Administrative Tools -> Services). 1.3 Installation of DB2 UDB Version 8.2 DB2 UDB Version 8.2 can be installed in the following ways: * installing a single Version 8.2 product * installing multiple Version 8.2 products * using a response file (single product or multiple products) * in an MSCS environment. Select the method appropriate for you. 1.3.1 Installing a single Version 8.2 product DB2 Version 8.2 images can be downloaded from the DB2 Technical support Web site, directly from the IBM(R) anonymous FTP server, or from a FixPak CD. Procedure To install a DB2 Version 8.2 single product: 1. Ensure that all DB2 processes and services are stopped. 2.

The installation fails if all uncompressed product images are not in subdirectories under the same parent directory. For a description of the setup command, see the DB2 Version 8.2 Command line parameters section. Sample response files can be found in the \db2\windows\samples directory. For example, ESE\db2\windows\samples. 1.3.4 Installing Version 8.2 in an MSCS environment This topic describes how to install DB2 Version 8.2 in a Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) environment. Assumptions: To illustrate how to install DB2 Version 8.2 in an MSCS environment, a simple example configuration must be understood. In this example, the initial configuration is a DB2 instance that is comprised of two partitions. In addition, there are two Cluster Groups: * DB2 Group 0: contains Partition 0 active on Machine A. The Administration Server (DAS) is also located here. * DB2 Group 1: contains Partition 1 active on Machine B. This is the initial configuration. Procedure To install DB2 Version 8.2 in an MSCS environment: 1. Ensure automatic failback is set to off. a. During the installation process you might have to restart your machine. When this happens the cluster service restarts automatically. Therefore the automatic failback must be set off so none of the groups automatically failback. b. In DB2 Group 0, to disable automatic failback: 1) From the Cluster Administrator window, right click DB2 Group 0. 2) Select Properties. The DB2 Group 0 Properties window displays. 3) On the Failback tab, select the Prevent failback radio button. 4) Click OK. c. In DB2 Group 1, to disable automatic failback: 1) From the Cluster Administrator window, right click DB2 Group 1. 2) Select Properties. The DB2 Group 1 Properties window displays. 3) On the Failback tab, select the Prevent failback radio button. 4) Click OK. 2. Move DB2 Group 1 to Machine A. a. From the Cluster Administrator GUI, click on DB2 Group 1. b. Right click, select Move Group. The Owner column changes to Machine A. 3. Stop the cluster service on Machine B. a. From the Component Services window, right click Cluster Service. b. Click Stop. 4. Download and install DB2 Version 8.2 on Machine B. Note: * DB2 is still running and available on Machine A. * As part of the installation process, you might have to restart your computer. * The Silent Mode installation process can also be used to install DB2 Version 8.2. 5. Take the DB2 resources on Machine A offline. a. Partition 0, Partition 1, and the DAS are all resources on Machine A. These must be taken offline one at a time. To take Machine A resources offline: 1) From the Cluster Administrator window, in the left window panel, select Groups. 2) Select DB2 Group 0. The resources for the group display in the right window panel. * For DB2 Group 0 the DB2 resources include Partition 0 and the DAS. 3) In the right window panel, right click one of the resources, select Take Offline. * Repeat this step for each of the DB2 resources in DB2 Group 0. 4) Select DB2 Group 1. The resources for the group display in the right window panel. * For DB2 Group 1 the DB2 resources include Partition 1. 5) In the right window panel, right click the resource (Partition 1), select Take Offline. 6. Start the cluster service on Machine B. (If the installation required a restart of your computer, and, if the Restart Type for the cluster service is set to automatic, skip this step because the cluster service is already started.) To start the cluster service: a. From the Component Services window, right click Cluster Service. b. Click Start. 7. Move DB2 Group 0 and DB2 Group 1 to Machine B. a. From the Cluster Administrator window, click DB2 Group 0. b. Right click, select Move Group. The Owner column changes to Machine B. c. Click on DB2 Group 1. d. Right click, select Move Group. The Owner column changes to Machine B. 8. Bring the DB2 resources on Machine B online. a. Partition 0, Partition 1, and the DAS are now resources on Machine B. These must be brought back online one at a time. To bring these resources online: 1) From the Cluster Administrator window, in the left window panel, select Groups. 2) Select DB2 Group 0. The resources for the group display in the right window panel. * For DB2 Group 0 the DB2 resources include Partition 0 and the DAS. 3) In the right window panel, right click one of the resources, select Bring Online. * Repeat this step for each of the DB2 resources in DB2 Group 0. 4) Select DB2 Group 1. The resources for the group display in the right window panel. * For DB2 Group 1 the DB2 resources include Partition 1. 5) In the right window panel, right click the resource (Partition 1), select Bring Online. 9. Stop the cluster service on Machine A. a. From the Component Services window, right click Cluster Service. b. Click Stop. 10. Download and install DB2 Version 8.2 on Machine A. Note: * DB2 is still running and available on Machine A. * As part of the installation process, you might have to restart your computer. * The Silent Mode installation process can also be used to install DB2 Version 8.2. 11. Start the cluster service on Machine A. (If the installation required a restart of your computer, and, if the Restart Type is set to automatic, skip this step because the cluster service is already started.) To start the cluster service: a. From the Component Services window, right click Cluster Service. b. Click Start. 12. Move DB2 Group 0 to Machine A. a. From the Cluster Administrator window, click DB2 Group 0. b. Right click, select Move Group. The Owner column changes to Machine A. This brings the MSCS environment back to the initial configuration. 13. If automatic failback was turned off in Step 1, you must turn it on. a. In DB2 Group 0, to enable automatic failback: 1) From the Cluster Administrator GUI, right click DB2 Group 0. 2) Select Properties. The DB2 Group 0 Properties window displays. 3) On the Failback tab, select the Allow failback radio button. 4) Click OK. b. In DB2 Group 1, to enable automatic failback: 1) From the Cluster Administrator window, right click DB2 Group 1. 2) Select Properties. The DB2 Group 1 Properties window displays. 3) On the Failback tab, select the Allow failback radio button. 4) Click OK. 1.4 Post-installation 1.4.1 Enabling the DB2 Remote Command Service If you installed a partitioned DB2 server on Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP, you must enable the DB2 Remote Command Service to protect your data and resources. To be fully secure, you need to enable either the computer, if the service is running under the context of the LocalSystem account, or a user for delegation, if the service is being run under the logon context of a user. To enable the DB2 Remote Command Service: 1. Open the Active Directory Users and Computers window, click Start and select Programs --> Administrative tools --> Active Directory Users and Computers. 2. In the right window panel, right click on the computer or user to enable, select Properties. 3. Click the General tab and select the Trust computer for delegation check box. For user setting, click the Account tab and check the Account is trusted for delegation check box in the Account option group. Ensure that the Account is sensitive and cannot be delegated box has not been checked. 4. Click OK to enable the computer or user for delegation. Repeat these steps for each computer or user that needs to be enabled. You must restart your computer for the security change to take effect. You can disable the DB2 Remote Command Service security features and return the environment to its previous state using the DB2RCMD_LEGACY_MODE registry variable. To disable the DB2 Remote Command Service security features, enter the following command: db2set DB2RCMD_LEGACY_MODE=ON Note: This registry variable requires Boolean values as arguments, the values YES, 1, TRUE, and ON are all equivalent and the values NO, 0, FALSE, and OFF are also equivalent. You can specify any of the appropriate equivalent values. 1.4.2 Re-binding bind files You need to bind your DB2 utilities against all your databases after the installation. This step is necessary for the fixes to become effective. The binding procedure, which follows, needs to be performed only once per database. 1.4.2.1 Re-binding to DB2 UDB databases After applying fixes, execute the following commands: db2 terminate db2 CONNECT TO db2 BIND $DB2DIR\BND\@db2ubind.lst GRANT PUBLIC db2 BIND $DB2DIR\BND\@db2cli.lst GRANT PUBLIC db2 terminate where represents the name of a database to which the utilities should be bound and $DB2DIR represents the directory where you have installed DB2. db2ubind.lst and db2cli.lst contain lists of required bind files used by DB2 UDB Version 8. 1.4.2.2 Re-binding host databases If you are connecting to host databases, you 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 $DB2DIR\BND\@ddcsmvs.lst BLOCKING ALL SQLERROR CONTINUE GRANT PUBLIC VM BIND $DB2DIR\BND\@ddcsvm.lst BLOCKING ALL SQLERROR CONTINUE GRANT PUBLIC VSE BIND $DB2DIR\BND\@ddcsvse.lst BLOCKING ALL SQLERROR CONTINUE GRANT PUBLIC OS400 BIND $DB2DIR\BND\@ddcs400.lst BLOCKING ALL SQLERROR CONTINUE GRANT PUBLIC 1.4.2.3 Re-binding specific packages If you want to bind only the specific .bnd files to the database, issue the following commands for each database. db2 terminate db2 CONNECT TO db2 BIND $DB2DIR\BND\ BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC sqlerror continue db2 terminate where represents the name of the bind file, and represents the name of your database. 1.4.2.4 Bind db2schema.bnd to existing databases For installations 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 commands sequences: At a command prompt: db2 terminate db2 CONNECT TO db2 BIND $DB2DIR\BND\db2schema.bnd BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC sqlerror continue db2 terminate or, At the DB2 command line: TERMINATE CONNECT TO BIND $DB2DIR\BND\db2schema.bnd BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC sqlerror continue TERMINATE where represents the name of a database to which the utilities should be bound and $DB2DIR represents the directory where you have installed DB2. 1.4.2.5 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. Open a DB2 command window and enter the following command: cd %DB2PATH%\bnd 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. 2.0 Migrating database directory files from Version 8.2 back to Version 8.1 The db2demigdbd tool converts the format of the database directory files. Use this tool when moving from the DB2 UDB Version 8.2 back to Version 8.1. The db2demigdb tool is available as part of the FixPak install. It can also be located directly on the FixPak CD, without installing the FixPak. It is also downloadable from the IBM anonymous FTP server at ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/db2/tools/db2demigdbd. 3.0 Known problems and workarounds The following sections detail problems and workarounds you must be aware of prior to installing DB2 UDB Version 8.2. 3.1 Known problems and workarounds (Version 8.2) 3.1.1 Distributed transaction support In the documentation for the Version 8.2 What's new, the Distributed transaction support information of the DB2 Universal JDBC Driver improvements section has incorrect information. The last sentence of this section is incorrect. The correct information is: Support for distributed transaction processing that conforms to the XA specification. This support implements the Java(TM) 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) Java Transaction Service (JTS) and Java Transaction API (JTA) specifications. 3.1.2 New reason code for SQL5099N 17 - Cannot disable log archiving when database is rollforward pending. 3.1.3 Automatic setting of default prefetch size and update defaults Starting with DB2 UDB Version 8.2. you can use AUTOMATIC prefetch size for a table space. DB2 UDB automatically updates the prefetch size when the number of containers changes for the table space. The syntax of DB2_PARALLEL_IO registry variable is expanded to recognize containers with different I/O parallelism characteristics. Through the expanded syntax, containers for different table spaces can have different I/O parallelism characteristics. The I/O parallelism characteristic of each table space is used when a prefetch size of AUTOMATIC is specified for the table space. If the DB2_PARALLEL_IO registry variable is enabled but the expanded syntax identifying specific I/O parallelism characteristics for table spaces is not used, a default level of parallelism is assumed. The default level is RAID 5 (6+1). The prefetch size information used by the optimizer is refreshed only when an ALTER TABLESPACE statement is issued that changes the prefetch size of a table space or changes the number of containers (using ADD/DROP/BEGIN NEW STRIPE SET/ADD TO NEW STRIPE SET). If the number of physical disks per container registry settings changes, an ALTER TABLESPACE PREFETCHSIZE AUTOMATIC statement should be issued to refresh the optimizer information (unless an ALTER TABLESPACE statement that refreshes the optimizer information is already issued). If a table space is redirected or restored to use a different number of containers, refresh the optimizer information by issuing an ALTER TABLESPACE
PREFETCHSIZE AUTOMATIC statement. If there are multiple stripe sets within a table space, the maximum number of containers among the stripe sets is used to calculated the prefetch size. If the calculated prefetch size exceeds the maximum size (32767 pages), the largest multiple of the number of containers that is smaller than the maximum is used as the prefetch size. In an Enterprise Server Edition environment, if a table space uses an AUTOMATIC prefetch size, the prefetch size might be different on different database partitions. This is because different database partitions can have different number of containers used for calculating the prefetch size. To generate the query access plan, the optimizer uses the prefetch size from the first partition in a database partition group. 4.0 How to get help To contact DB2 Customer Service by phone: * In Canada and the United States, call 1-800-IBM-SERV (426-7378). * Worldwide, see the Directory of worldwide contacts for information on IBM offices in your country or region, at http://www.ibm.com/planetwide The main Usenet newsgroup for DB2 product-related questions is comp.databases.ibm-db2.
